Sadly, Shoppers Drug Mart in Milton, ON is not in the list of COVID-19 Pharmacy testing centres

Premier Drug Ford has announced COVID Testing in up to 60 pharmacies in Ontario, starting Friday, September 25. Ontarians who are asymptomatic can now get tested for COVID-19 in selected pharmacies across Ontario as a part of a wider decide to boost capacity and hamper on long waiting hours that are reported at some assessment centres. the chosen pharmacies will start testing for COVID-19 by appointments by the top of the week, more locations are going to be added soon.

We got to simplify the COVID testing because it is with a flu shot, Ford said in making the announcement. It is straightforward to urge a flu shot and that we need to confirm a COVID test is simply as easy. Those wishing to receive the test are going to be pre-screened then tested at no charge.

We believe our pharmacists for our flu shots, prescriptions, and important health advice for ourselves and our families. It is sensible to interact them as key partners in delivering more COVID-19 testing, said Ford.

I need to thank Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, and therefore the independent pharmacies who have stepped up during a big thanks to help expand testing to more people within the province. With everyone pitching in, we are well on our thanks to reaching our goal of 50,000 tests each day and stopping the spread of COVID-19.

The province also noted that when visiting a pharmacy, residents should still follow public health measures, including wearing a face covering, frequent hand washing, and maintaining physical distance from those outside their household or social circle.
