At the drugstore chain, customers will be able to buy Corona rapid tests for self-application from next week. The tests are "expected" to be available from March 9, provided that the manufacturer keeps the delivery commitments, the company said. The tests would be offered "as cheaply as possible," it said.
When asked, the chain did not want to give "any exact information on the sales price", as discussions were ongoing. It is "important that life returns to normal as quickly and as far as possible," continued the statement from dm. The company wants to contribute to this. However, the delivery amount will initially be "limited per person," it said. As soon as there are further deliveries and further approved tests, the limitation will no longer apply.
Last week, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) issued special approvals for three products for use at home. The samples are taken through a swab in the front nose.
A week ago, the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices issued the first three special approvals for corona self-tests, which you can do at home without training. They are suitable if someone wants to have security for themselves, said Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn. In the future, however, they could also serve to enable visits to theaters or other events.
