Aimie Hines: Retail NZ spokesperson says $6 to $12 is a fair RAT price

Retailers are defending the cost of Rapid Antigen Tests. A Consumer New Zealand survey's found the price varies from $6.40 to $19 a test. Retail NZ spokesperson Aimie Hines told Kate Hawkesby some pharmacists bought them at a high price so have to charge $19 but says that's not a sustainable price. “I think what we will see across the board is between $6 to $12 max, that’s a pretty fair price, even with freight costs.” Aimie Hines says retailers managed to land stock within a week, rather than the usual three. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
