Self-tests: sale in supermarkets, a temporary green light – Franceinfo

This Breton company produces more than 2 million self-tests each week. Courtesy of the supermarket sale, the company is preparing to gain further momentum. “We have invested in automatic machines which will be put into service in mid-January and which will allow us to increase our capacities”, says Aldric Laurent, NH Biotech 22 director of operations.

In Dijon (Côte d’Or), this large company expects the delivery of 500 self-tests by the end of the week. Good news for the majority of customers surveyed. “It should be like breathalyzers, free access for everyone “, says a young woman. Pharmacists deplore the authorization granted to supermarkets, which they believe marks the end of medical support. Possible in Germany and Belgium for several months already, the sale of self-tests in supermarkets will be authorized in France until January 31.
