Meanwhile, the Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) found that the
COVID quick tests in Hungary are more expensive than the EU average.
Index.hu said that the body started a survey last December. Therefore, GVH suggested the government allow selling such tests in the different market chains, drugstores and fuel stations. As a result, their cost could be lower. Provided the government does not agree, GVH suggested introducing a price cap in the case of quick tests.
