The City of St. John’s encourages the use of medication deliveries to vulnerable members of the public and to continue deliveries after 6 p.m. to ease congestion on City streets. When travelling to the store please carpool if possible, exercise extreme caution, motorists must drive slowly and watch for pedestrians.

We ask the public to stay at home unless they have an urgent need for medication or essential baby supplies. People should call ahead to ensure that the pharmacy is open and the service they require is available. Some pharmacy services may be limited depending on each businesses’ operational ability.
NLPB thanks our affected St. John’s registrants and the affected patients for your patience and understanding today.
