Loblaws to offer COVID-19 asymptomatic tests at 234 Albertan pharmacies
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Those without any symptoms of COVID-19 can now get tested at pharmacies owned by Loblaws.
The Government of Alberta announced in late July that pharmacies would be able to apply to offer tests.
“Testing is a powerful tool that helps us limit the spread of COVID-19 and protect people from infection. Expanded testing capacity will support additional testing opportunities for all Albertans, including school teachers and staff. This will provide a baseline for school re-entry and enhance access throughout the school year,” says Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw.
Health Minister Tyler Shandro added that he was pleased to see the government partner with Loblaws, further cementing Alberta as a “leader in testing.”
