Walmart, Kroger raise at-home COVID test prices after agreement with White House expires
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/walmart-kroger-raise-home-covid-test-prices-agreement/story?id=82088255Major retailers have increased the price of at-home COVID-19 tests now that an agreement with the White House to sell them at a fixed price has expired.
In September, Walmart, Kroger and Amazon agreed to sell the two-pack boxes of at-home rapid antigen tests for $14 for three months amid a surge in positive cases with the delta and omicron variants. The agreement has since expired, according to a White House official.
Walmart is now charging $19.88 per box, where available, and Kroger has raised the price to $23.99. The brand is currently unavailable on Amazon's website.
Despite the price hike, the at-home tests remain sold out -- both online and in stores across the country.
