The Kroger Family of Companies, parent company of Smith’s Food and Drug, announced Monday that it was offering free COVID-19 tests to employees, based on symptoms and medical need.

A statement from the company said the tests will be a combination of self-administered kits and tests at the company’s drive-up sites.

Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health, said the testing will help employees “feel more empowered and knowledgeable about their health.”

Other steps the company has taken include supplying masks to all employees, installing Plexiglas partitions at checkout lanes and reducing customer capacity limits.
