Here's how Google Maps can help you reach the nearest pharmacy.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has forced us to go under a lockdown. India has been in a nationwide lockdown since March 25. While maintaining social distancing, people still need to head out of their homes just to buy the essential items. These also include medical supplies, such as masks, gloves, medicines and other drugs. 

In order to avoid standing in huge ques or unnecessarily going out just to find the nearby shop is closed, one can take advantage of the Google Maps. Google Maps can not only help you to reach the nearest medical store that is open but it also offers a lot more information around the search. It can also bring a list of other pharmacies that are open around your location. 

How to use Google Maps to search for pharmacies?

  1. Open the Google Maps app on your Android or iOS smartphone
  2. If prompted, allow and enable location services on your device
  3. In the search bar, type 'Chemists around me' and hit search
  4. You will get the information on nearby pharmacies that are serving their customers at the time along with other key details like distance, ratings and reviews.
