These 70 stores in Hamilton will be handing out rapid antigen tests
Published February 9, 2022 at 2:45 pm
Starting Wednesday (Feb. 9) millions of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests will be made available at pharmacies and grocery stores across the province.
In Hamilton, the test kits will be available at 70 stores (see locations below) as the provincial government plans to distribute 5.5 million tests each week for at least the next eight weeks.
In addition to the store locations, test kits will also be made available through community partners in vulnerable communities, officials said.
Participating retailers will receive additional supplies each week. Also, they can determine how tests are distributed in order to best serve the community, including through appointment bookings, at checkouts or through online orders.
The province intends to bring additional locations online in the coming weeks, including independent grocers and pharmacies.
Individuals can pick the tests up in person or order online, depending on the retailer. There will be a general limit of one box of five tests per household per visit but officials said some consideration will be made for people living in larger households.
