COVID-19 tests can be purchased or obtained at various locations depending on where you are:
- In Germany, you can buy self-administered COVID-19 antigen tests at drugstores like Rossmann and DM, pharmacies (Apotheke), as well as supermarkets when available. Online stores and platforms like Amazon, Gorillas, or Flink sometimes have them in stock for delivery. Prices and availability vary; for example, one report mentioned tests for about €3.95 each at a pharmacy near Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. Some pharmacies may require appointments for testing services, but self-tests can be bought for personal use without appointment.
- COVID-19 rapid tests and PCR tests can also be done at testing centers and pharmacies. In places like Frankfurt, test centers offer antigen and PCR tests with pricing information available, and some require pre-registration.
- In the UK, you can find pharmacies offering free rapid lateral flow test kits without needing appointments or prior orders.
- In the US, pharmacies like Walgreens allow you to order no-cost COVID-19 test kits with insurance coverage for pickup.
