The first Arkansas site, on the grounds of its Bentonville headquarters, opened in early April as a pilot site. A second is now open at 2700 S. Shackleford Road in Little Rock.

The retailer said in a recent blog post that it plans as many as 50 of the drive-thru sites nationwide.

Most Walmart testing sites are set up in Supercenter and Sam's Club parking lots. Anyone with symptoms of covid-19 can get tested, as well as health care workers and emergency responders whether or not they have any symptoms.
