02:47 PM EDT, 08/24/2020 (MT Newswires) -- The Ontario government in discussions with Shoppers Drug Mart (L.TO) to offer COVID-19 testing at their pharmacies, reports CP24, saying that Premier Doug Ford made the comments on Monday afternoon during an announcement at Queen's Park.
"We've been discussing this for a little while now and we've reached out to Shoppers Drug Mart, the CEO of Loblaws that owns Shoppers as well, and they're being very cooperative so I might as well come out and say it," Ford said during the press conference.
Earlier this month, Alberta announced that Shoppers Drug Mart and its parent company Loblaw Canada are making COVID-19 testing available at their pharmacies.
Premier Ford didn't provide a date as to when testing might be available at Shopper Drug Mart locations.
