All London Drugs stores in Western Canada expected to reopen Tuesday following cyberattack

All London Drugs stores in Western Canada are expected to be open by the end of the day Tuesday.

It has been more than a week since a cyberattack closed all 79 stores.

The company said core services have reopened in 40 stores across the region but pharmacy customers will not be able to fill new prescriptions.

Customers are urged to call their local pharmacy or visit the store in person during regular hours to receive help.

Canada Post locations within stores are accessible, the Insurance Services Call Centre is open and optical locations were opened on Monday.
