[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] CJ Olive Young announced on the 6th that it will start selling COVID-19 self-test kits from the 7th.


The self-test kit sold by Olive Young is the ‘Humasis COVID-19 Home Test.’ It is a product that received approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety last month on the condition that additional clinical performance test data for self-testing be submitted within three months.


The test method involves individuals collecting a specimen from inside their nose and dropping it onto the kit to check the result. The test result can be confirmed within 15 to 20 minutes.


Olive Young will initially sell the kits primarily through its official online mall and over 200 major stores nationwide. Offline stores were selected focusing on large stores with good accessibility, including flagship stores and town stores.


For those with suspected COVID-19 symptoms or epidemiological links, orders can also be placed through the immediate delivery service ‘Oneul Dream’ to receive the kits quickly and safely without face-to-face contact. The number of stores handling the kits will be gradually expanded.



An Olive Young official said, “Considering customer convenience, we have prioritized introducing COVID-19 self-test kits in the official online mall and major large stores nationwide,” adding, “We plan to continue our role as a leading sales channel for health and hygiene products, placing customer health as our top priority.”
