Written by on 13 January 2022

The Ministry of Health has set the maximum price for lateral flow coronavirus tests at €2.94.

In measures coming into force on Saturday, minister Carolina Darias said she had reached unanimous agreements with regional governments over the price of the testing kits, which will be available from pharmacies.

Alongside the new cost measures, those aged under 40 are now able to register for booster jabs, with the interval between initial vaccination and booster being reduced from six to five months.
