Boots to sell £6 Covid tests ahead of rule change
Pharmacy Boots will begin selling single Covid tests for £5.99 from Wednesday, despite free kits being available via the NHS until 1 April. Customers can purchase a pack of four lateral flow tests online for £17, or one test for £5.99, including delivery. Asif Aziz, director of healthcare services at Boots UK, said: "We are pleased to be expanding our Covid-19 testing services even further, with affordable lateral flow testing options for those who still want peace of mind from asymptomatic testing after 1 April". Some countries have placed a price cap on Covid tests, such as Spain which has a £2.45 maximum price cap. "How do Boots staff feel about being point of contact for so many people, if sold in-store? Some of those testing will be suspected Covid infections."
