China has asked local authorities to further lower the price of COVID-19 nucleic acid tests to no more than 16 yuan per person for a single test. The price for batch testing, which combines samples from up to 10 people in a single test, should be no more than 5 yuan per person, said a circular made public by the National Healthcare Security Administration on Wednesday. The administration requires all provincial-level regions to complete the price adjustment by June 10.
