COVID-19 Home Tests Soon
Supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths will start stocking rapid antigen COVID-19 tests from early November.
The tests, which can deliver a result in around 15 minutes, will be stocked in some stores, and will also be available for delivery from November 1.
In a statement, Woolworths said the kits could already be pre-ordered and would sell for between $10 and $15 per test.
“Rapid antigen testing is helping protect our distribution centre team members across Australia from COVID-19,” a Woolworths spokesperson said.
“We’re now looking to stock at home self-test kits, which have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, in selected stores from early November.”
A Coles spokesperson said the tests would initially be stocked in all states except South Australia and Western Australia.
