Stop & Shop has announced that it will now offer the two FDA authorized COVID-19 anti-viral medications, at all 55 New York pharmacies.

According to officials, the anti-viral drugs are available at no cost with a valid prescription from a health care provider. Once prescribed, Stop & Shop encourages the infected individual to stay home and send a trusted family member or friend to pick up the prescription.
