Pharmacists warn of antigen test shortage

Darragh O’Loughlin said it was his understanding that there were orders due into the country later this week, but in the meantime, there would be shortages.

The secretary-general of the Irish Pharmacy Union has warned that there will be a shortage of Covid-19 antigen tests in the country this week as further stocks are awaited.

Speaking on RTÉ radio, Darragh O’Loughlin said that pharmacies were running out of antigen tests and some were putting a limit on the quantities of tests that individuals could purchase.
