We acknowledge these criminals may leak london drugs corporate files. This is deeply distressing. While london drugs has confirmed that attackers stole files that could contain employee information, it maintains that so far they have no indication that any customer information has been compromiseed. >> That's a very optimistic guess. Right now they can't tell because it could take months to discover how much damage has been done. >> Somebody tried to take out $4,300 out of my account. >> Vic neufeld is a frequent london drugs customer who now wonders if that's how someone was able to make a series of fraudulent charges to his visa debit card. >> I don't believe in coincidence.

The bulk were given to the provinces and territory it is to distribute. In many places access to those free tests will soon come to an end. Heidi petracek explains why. >> Reporter: there used to be line-ups for free covid-19 rapid tests. Today it's no waiting for bill who picked one up at his local library in halifax. >> If we had been somewhere where we hear someone else has covid or if we have gotten -- you know had the sniffles or something we use the test. >> Reporter: but the days of ottawa sending millions of tests to the provinces are numbered. Health canada saying in a statement, given the current covid-19 outlook inventory levels and indicated testing demands, the federal government does not anticipate the need for additional federal procurements at this time. New brunswick took that as its queue to announce it will stop announce handing them out when supplies run out likely next month. Saskatchewan did the same in february. >> People who are wealthy can continue to buy them. >> That bothers one infection control epidemiologist who says rapid tests should still be be part of the plan. >> If we say we we are not going to have it anymore taking the word public out of public health. >> Nova scotia is planning its next steps as is alberta which stresses no decision has been made. Other provinces aren't saying much right now about what the plan is. Ontario, for example, would only say through a spokesperson that the province has tens of millions of rapid antigen tests available to the public and wouldn't say when they expire. Lab based testing by medical referral remains available and for one expert is the better tool because rapid tests perform differently for different people. >> The interpretation capacity has to improve and that means that the sensitivity of tests need to improve. >> Experts agree tests need to improve and detect other respiratory viruses like rsv and influenza. That innovation is in the works likely rendering these obsolete. Heidi petracek, "global news," halifax.
