I assume it's the same type of test - or not?
I have a relative travelling to stay with me in summer for nearly two months (she always does, already skipped the winter stay) , just learned that it costs around £150 for the two tests. Possibly also when going back in 6 weeks).

Is the govt or agencies turned this into money making tool, or am I missing something? People aer still traelling even on short holidays so it hasn't stop the travel. For people who are hard up after all the covid fallout this is hard to afford.

I'm also amazed people are not protesting / challenging this what with all the other protests, taking onto account that tests are free of chaarge when in this country.
Other countries charge a lot less, still adds up but it's around 25 euros.
