Tests for travel certificates are not included in the testing of suspected covid-19 funded by the state.
This means that those who need to test themselves before a trip must bear that cost themselves.
Large price differences
An antigen test including a travel certificate can cost from SEK 475 up to SEK 2,250.
According to Johan Sahl, unit manager for market abuse at the Swedish Competition Authority, the reason for the price variation is the weak competition, the high demand and the ignorance that exists among consumers.
- As a consumer, you are dependent on knowing what it is you are buying to be able to compare prices.
It is more difficult when you have an information base that we have ended up in now.
We can not squeeze and feel the product, says Johan Sahl to SVT.
