Pharmacists are still working with customers to fill urgent prescriptions and advised the community to call the store to make arrangements.

The pharmaceutical chain closed all of its 79 stories as a precautionary measure over a cybersecurity measure, a spokesperson for the chain told media outlets later on Sunday.
