Thirteen Shoppers Drug Mart stores in nine Southwestern Ontario cities are seeing their first COVID-19 testing clients Tuesday, days after Queen’s Park rolled out pharmacy-based testing in harder-hit areas of Ontario.

The pharmacies are testing high-priority, asymptomatic people, Shoppers Drug Mart said in a statement Tuesday. The testing is available by appointment only.

“Patients who fit the high-priority, asymptomatic criteria are asked to contact the pharmacy directly to be pre-screened,” the company said.

Though Rexall has launched COVID-19 testing in Toronto-area and Ottawa pharmacies, the company has no imminent plans to expand its testing pilot program to pharmacies in Southwestern Ontario, Rexall said in a statement Tuesday.

The pharmacy-based COVID-19 testing comes as assessment centres in London and across Ontario struggle with unprecedented lineups and wait times for testing. Last week, the province tightened the rules for people seeking testing at assessment centres to those with symptoms and those in close contact with a confirmed case.

Here are the Shoppers Drug Mart stores in the London region offering COVID-19 tests starting Tuesday:
