What about delivery options?

Many stores, including Stop & Shop and Safeway, are still fulfilling online orders for delivery. Due to high demand, stores warn that there may be a delay in deliveries — and there's even the possibility that these services will be suspended if the COVID-19 outbreak worsens. As a general rule, call your local store first before you place an order.

Walgreens and CVS, however, are making it even easier for customers to get their prescriptions filled. Both pharmacies are waiving all delivery fees, making it possible for any elderly or at-risk people to receive their medications without leaving their home.
