OBSOLETE COVID THREAD OTC covid test cost

[crhutch]

Does anyone have an idea how much an OTC covid self-test costs in Spain. Trying to decide whether I should bring one from home or purchase one there if needed. Thanks

What will you use it for? If it's to return to the US you can't use a standard OTC test. You must purchase a test that includes a telehealth component online which you can bring with you.

Here's a couple of places to order from

Optum

If you simply want to test yourself periodically while on the Camino I have read that the rapid self tests are just a few euros each.

Thanks, it's the later that I am interested in. ie self testing while on the camino. I'm trying to keep my pack weight down and while these kits are not heavy at alI ever ounce helps. ​

I think a standard antigen test is about €5,- or so... there is a max price that is set in Spain that the pharmacies need to apply. Don't remember the exact price, but I seem to remember it is about 5-6 euro.

In spain you can only get them in farmacias.... but should be no problems, there are a lot of them.
