China's National Healthcare Security Administration has instructed public hospitals to further decrease the price of conducting COVID-19 nucleic acid tests.
Hospitals in 30 provincial-level regions have lowered prices from 60 yuan per person for a single test to 40 yuan or less, according to the administration.
The price for testing a group of 10 people should be no more than 10 yuan per person, the administration said.
People in Tianjin will pay 40 yuan for a single nucleic acid test and 9 yuan for a group test.
