Self tests for coronavirus to reach pharmacies next week, deputy Health minister says

Speaking at a regular live briefing on the pandemic, Kontozamanis said that a second batch is scheduled to arrive in Greece in the middle of the coming week (April 7), and the last one the week after.

If all goes well, by the end of the coming week pharmacies throughout Greece will have received enough supplies to initially provide tests to high school students aged 16 to 18 and their teachers. They will then become available to ages 18 to 64 in the general public, he revealed.

Every citizen has a right to one test per week, or four per month. He detailed the process of acquiring them from the pharmacies and doing them at home.
