The majority of people with symptoms who want a PCR Covid-19 test will have to pay around €90 for it privately as the HSE starts to axe most of its mass free testing services.
It follows the Cabinet’s decision yesterday to no longer offer free PCR tests to healthy members of the public under 55 or those who are boosted and do not fall into a category such as people with a high risk medical condition, those living with a vulnerable person or a pregnant woman.
