“In the interim, pharmacy staff are on-site at all London Drugs locations to support customers with urgent pharmacy needs,” the company said.

“We advise customers to visit their local store in person for immediate support and until the phone lines are back in service.”

The drugstore chain initially reported the store closures on Sunday afternoon.

In a statement to Global News, London Drugs says the closures are out of an abundance of caution and at this time they do not believe customer or employee data has been impacted.

There is no word yet on when the stores may be open.
