Kaufland has started selling antigen tests, and other stores are planning to do so

Kaufland sells Flowflex SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test for CZK 149.90.

According to Maierl, the cashier sometimes instructs customers that they can only buy one test, she said. A pack of 25 tests will be available next week.

Kaufland also said last week that it wants to launch the NEWGENE Novel Coronavirus Detection Test Kit, which detects the presence of coronavirus from saliva, in mid-March.

More will be added

Globus also plans to start selling antigen tests in the near future. He is currently negotiating with the supplier. The Albert chain is also considering including self-testing tests.

The test offered by Kaufland is on the Ministry of Health's list of approved exemptions.

If a self-employed person or a company buys it, he can claim a discount of 60 crowns from health insurance. In this way, the state contributes to a maximum of four tests per employee or self-employed person (self-employed) per month.

Tests for home coronavirus testing, which can be performed without a healthcare professional, are also sold by domestic pharmacy networks.
