Customers at Tesco are to be offered a cheaper alternative to a lateral flow test which will cost less than a cup of takeaway coffee.
As of yesterday, April 1, lateral flows are no longer free to get from retailers and pharmacies but healthcare firm Everything Genetic are helping supply the tests to Tesco.
According to the firm's chief executive James Price, the partnership with Tesco would hopefully regulate LFT costs and help consumers who are worried about expenses during the cost of living crisis. The healthcare firm aims to maintain test prices to “less than a "takeaway coffee” to provide "reliable, accurate and affordable" tests.
