A total of 217 pharmacists participated in the study. Most community
pharmacists had reported a positive outlook and were able to balance
working with self-care during this period. Most had reported to have
access to personal protective equipment such as gloves and hand
sanitizers. A large proportion of community pharmacies also installed
physical barriers in doorways or in front of the counter, put markings
on the ground to section areas to ensure physical distancing, and
controlled the number of customers who could access the pharmacy during
this period. Innovations reported to be implemented included
teleconsultations and providing curb-side or drive-through delivery and
pickups.
