After the initial hype, the demand for corona self-tests has plummeted. Now the trade threatens to get stuck on the once much sought-after goods.
The corona incidence numbers are falling nationwide and, step by step, something is returning to normal. In all of Germany, the low number of cases means that there is more and more relaxation – especially with regard to leisure and holiday activities. In addition, the gastronomy is attracting visitors again and cinemas and fitness studios are allowed to reopen.
In many places you still need a negative corona test (not a self-test) for access, the only exception: those who have been completely vaccinated and those who have recovered are equated with those who have tested negative. Exactly for this reason, the sale of Corona self-tests threatens to become a million dollar failure for German retailers. Numerous discounters such as Aldi, Lidl and Co. stay seated on their goods and sell the self-tests online and in the market at low prices. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
