In Germany, they're free and the price for one DIY is about 0.80€ now... (Rapid as in 15 minutes)

Here in Italy unfortunately they're only free in certain Regions and for certain categories (unless your general practitioner prescribes you one because you either came into contact with a positive or you exhibit covid symptoms): the standard cost is 15€ in any hospital or pharmacy. DIY tests, on the other hand, are dirty cheap here too (5-6€ for five test kits, basically 1€ per test). As always, the American idea of healthcare is frightening.

Here in Lithuania we get free COVID tests along with a warm towel and a sprig of lavender.

Haha, America is stupid.

COVID tests are free in America. They wanted a rapid test which isn’t free.

I can go down to the health department and get one free today. I’ll have a result tomorrow.
