When you visit a CVS Pharmacy, you’ll see that we’ve made a lot of changes:

  • Disinfectant wipe stations to wipe down your cart or basket

  • Signage and floor markers to remind you to maintain proper social distance

  • Employees wearing CDC-approved masks and gloves

  • Regular cleaning of hard surfaces and frequently handled items

  • New protective panels at check out and pharmacy counters (arriving soon at all stores)

  • Fewer signatures required on our PIN pads

We couldn’t do any of this without our amazing pharmacy and store employees. To protect them and their families during the pandemic, we are providing:

  • Bonus eligibility for employees working 10+ hours for the month of April

  • 24 hours of sick time for part-time employees, plus standard sick time for full-time employees

  • 25 days of child care or elder care

  • Up to 14 days of continued pay for employees who test positive for COVID-19 or who are quarantined for exposure
