With coronavirus cases being confirmed all across Siouxland and other counties, many businesses are moving forward with caution.
Among these businesses, local pharmacies are now promoting drive-thru services and curbside pickups. Some are even using the postal service to deliver medicines to customers in an attempt to combat the spread of COVID-19.
Don Drilling, who is the owner of Drilling Pharmacy in Sioux City, said his store is locked. He said that his store is providing curbside pickups and delivery services.
“The store is locked, everything is curbside or delivery, no one comes through this door,” Don Drilling told the Siouxland Proud website. “Just to make sure no one gets sick we don’t want any of the employees or their families getting sick, and we don’t want any of the customers if we can avoid that.”
Drilling also expressed the importance of the pharmaceutical industry.
“Pharmacies have to be here because we have thousands of patients that need to have their medication and there is no substitute for that,” Drilling said.
