Pennsylvania

The Department of State (DOS) published additional guidance last week related to COVID-19 pharmacy issues. The guidance clarifies that the Commonwealth does not require signatures to confirm delivery and waives provisions around emergency refills to allow 90–day refills for certain medication and 30–day refills for others. In addition to other pharmacy related matters, the guidance also notably states that pharmacists are permitted to perform end-to-end COVID-19 testing and provides instructions to pharmacies to register with the Department of Health (DOH) to do so. NACDS is expecting the DOS to issue further clarifications or waivers around this policy, due to the barriers that currently exist with DOH qualifications. 

Also in Pennsylvania... This week, Pennsylvania joined Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island in a regional pact to coordinate the regional reopening of the economy as the COVID-19 pandemic reaches its apex in the region.  The Pact shall include state officials, economic experts and public health officials.  No timeline or details are available, but the vision is a gradual return to work in the region.
