There should not be any price difference whether customers buy approved Covid-19 home self-test kits online or in-store, several pharmacists said when interviewed.

A pharmacy manager, who wanted to be known only as Yeoh, said the standard saliva-based rapid test kit (RTK) at her shop was being sold for RM39.90.
