One pharmacist says they’re struggling to keep them in stock.
3,726 Covid cases were recorded yesterday, the highest figure since January 14th.
One immunologist says it’s now time for rapid antigen tests to be made free for everyone. Professor Christine Loscher from DCU says we should all be taking them twice a week.
Pharmacist Jennifer O’Grady from McNamara Pharmacy in Swords says antigen tests are proving hugely popular.
