Michael Dengelis, a spokesman for CVS Health, said instructions on when and how not to contact customers do not stem from the company’s corporate office fees and are not indicative of a company-wide policy. He has confirmed the CVS policy calls for employees to be quarantined and to change any drug administered by someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

A CVS spokesperson said, “It is not our policy to ban our pharmacies even if an employee who tested positive for COVID-19 works in a pharmacy. Even if their prescription is filled, it is not our policy to ban them.”

“Patients who have already received their prescriptions, we co-operate with local health departments and provide patient contact information as requested. In these situations, patients – if they choose – can return and change medications,” he said. Added.
