Pharmacies stock up with free Covid self-test kits

The vast majority of pharmacies have procured the tests and made them available to pupils and teachers, who from Monday will be able to receive the second test they are entitled to it.

Pupils and teachers must present the certificate of a negative test to their school every Monday and Thursday.

The advice is that they take the test either the same morning or the night before. They must then declare the test result on the self-testing.gov.gr platform, which issues the relevant certificate. If no printer is available, parents and teachers must present a handwritten statement.

If the test is positive, a certificate will be issued for a repeat test by a health professional in a public or private facility.

Here is the Prime Minister Kyriakos showing how easy its to get the Free Kit and a quick lesson on how to use it.
