Amid a growing number of cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus across the United States, CVS is now offering free home deliveries on all prescriptions at all of their retail locations. The company announced the change on Monday, which will waive any and all delivery fees on prescriptions, attributing it to wanting individuals at higher risk of contracting the virus to be able to stay home if they so choose.
CVS's statement also referenced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendation that "people at higher risk for COVID-19 complications to stay at home as much as possible," and said that their new free prescription deliveries will be a convenient option for those wishing to do so.
