Burgwedel / Karlsruhe (dpa) - After the discounters Aldi and Lidl, the drugstore chains dm and Rossmann are also aiming to start selling corona self-tests.
Provided the deliveries come as planned, “we can probably offer the corona rapid test in our sales outlets during the week,” said Rossmann on Monday.
From dm it was also said that they expect to be able to start this week.
Originally, both chains had announced the start of sales on Tuesday (March 9th), but linked this to necessary deliveries - these apparently did not come as quickly as hoped.

The Edeka supermarkets want to offer the tests "shortly".
Rewe announced that its supermarkets should gradually start selling self-tests at the beginning of the coming week.
The discount subsidiaries of the two trading companies, Netto and Penny, also want to start selling the self-tests.
Aldi had already started on Saturday, the packs were quickly sold out.
A spokeswoman for Aldi Süd said on Monday that more goods were on the way and that supplies would come this week.
"Due to the still high demand, the tests may also sell out quickly," said the spokeswoman.
At the checkout, each customer will still only get one pack.
One pack contains five tests.
At the discounter competitor Lidl, online sales of the tests started at the weekend, here too the demand was high and the website was temporarily unavailable.
On Monday it was only stated on the page that the packs would be «available to order soon».
