Leaked email reveals CVS instructed pharmacy staff not to tell patients their medications were filled by someone who tested positive for COVID-19

Irene Jiang/Business Insider

At least 14 CVS employees across the US have told Business Insider that CVS has a pattern of bullying staff and flagrantly disregarding the safety of customers. When asked if the instructions given in the email were in line with CVS's official policies, CVS spokesperson Michael DeAngelis told Business Insider, "We are looking into your specific question. Generally speaking, our priority during this pandemic is the safety of our employees, patients, and customers."

DeAngelis said CVS allows asymptomatic employees to work if they wear surgical masks, self-monitor for symptoms, and if their temperature is taken before and after every shift for 14 days after exposure.
