These 97 stores in Mississauga will be handing out rapid antigen tests

Starting today in Mississauga and across Ontario, millions of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests will be available for people at pharmacies and grocery stores.

In Mississauga, the test kits will be available at 97 stores (see locations below) as the provincial government plans to distribute 5.5 million tests each week for the next eight weeks.

In addition to the store locations, test kits will also be made available through community partners in vulnerable communities, officials say.

Participating retailers will receive additional supply each week. Also, they can determine how tests are distributed in order to best serve the community, including through appointment bookings, at checkouts or through online orders.

The province intends to bring additional locations online in the coming weeks, including independent grocers and pharmacies.

Participating retailers may have additional information on their websites, such as how individual locations are distributing kits.

The list includes:

• Longo’s (available through Grocery Gateway online orders)
• Walmart (available only through advanced online orders for in-store pick-up)
• Loblaws including DRUGStore in Fortino’s and Your Independent Grocer, Real Canadian Superstore and Zehrs
• Shoppers Drug Mart
• Sobeys
