The arrival of the Christmas holidays and the explosion of infections led to an avalanche of demand for antigen tests, and most pharmacies sold out.

These tests are self-diagnostic, so they must be carried out at home. However, one measure that the Health Department is considering is that these tests can be performed in the pharmacies themselves. This would help to alleviate the pressure on Primary Care, which is responsible for carrying out diagnostic tests on possible positives and close contacts.
