The 38 Toronto-area pharmacies where you can get a coronavirus test starting Friday

Starting Friday, Sept. 25, 38 pharmacies in the Toronto-area will be able to offer coronavirus tests to at-risk, asymptomatic people.

People who have no symptoms — but are considered at-risk of exposure or work in sensitive settings like long-term care homes —  can get a test by making an appointment at select pharmacies in the Greater Toronto Area specifically in Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga and Markham.

Some of the participating pharmacies include Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Village Square Pharmacy and Medicine Shoppe.

The Ontario government made the announcement as part of its fall preparedness plan to combat the spread of the virus. The government said there are currently 60 pharmacies in the province on board to do testing with more pharmacy locations to make testing available in the coming weeks.

In a update Thursday, Ontario health officials said they are recommending that low-risk, asymptomatic people should not seek a COVID-19 test.

The move comes as people wait hours in long lines at testing centres across the region as cases continue to climb in what is expected to be a second wave.
