Private firms 'profiteering' as they charge holidaymakers £300 a Covid test
Tests add £1,000 to the price of a holiday for a family of four despite processing charges only costing £20
Private Covid testing firms have been accused of profiteering with charges that can add up to £1,000 to the cost of a family of four’s summer holiday.
The firms are charging up to £300 for a single PCR test despite the chemical processing costing little more than £20, an investigation by The Telegraph has found.
The cheapest companies on the official list of Government-approved firms are charging as little as £60 for providing PCR test results within a day.
