| Free coronavirus tests in Czechia likely to stop from September 1 |

The Czech Health Ministry is planning to end the availability of taking free preventative coronavirus tests from September 1, Health Minister Adam Vojtěch announced. From September, only indicative tests requested by a patient’s GP or hygiene stations are likely to be covered.
Publically insured residents in the Czech Republic currently benefit from the option of taking up to four antigen and two PCR tests for free and whenever they want every month.
However, following a government council meeting on Monday, Health Minister Adam Vojtěch announced that this is likely to change after the summer holidays.
“Indicative tests requested from the local hygiene station, or by one’s GP, have to be covered by health insurance. However, we expect free preventative testing to end from September 1.”
For children under the age of 12 and people who have a health condition that prevents them from getting vaccinated testing will remain free, Health Minister Vojtěch said. The opportunity to take a paid preventative test will also remain.
Mr Vojtěch pointed to the high cost of covering free tests as a reason for ending the current system.
