[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seven Eleven announced on the 13th that it will hold the convenience store industry's first 1+1 event for COVID-19 self-test kits until the 31st of this month.

As demand for COVID-19 self-test kits has surged recently, especially in the Seoul metropolitan area, this event aims to allow consumers to conveniently purchase the kits at affordable prices at nearby Seven Eleven stores.

Since May 7, Seven Eleven has been selling two types of COVID-19 self-test kits: the 'Humasis COVID-19 Home Test' 2-pack (18,000 KRW) and 1-pack (10,000 KRW). The 1+1 event applies to the 2-pack product, and an additional 25% discount is available when paying with Merge Plus, making it possible to purchase at up to 62.5% off. This means buying a self-test kit priced at 9,000 KRW each for 3,370 KRW.

The kits can be purchased at over 4,200 nationwide Seven Eleven stores licensed to sell medical devices, and the 1+1 event benefits and delivery service are also available through the delivery app Yogiyo.

According to Seven Eleven, sales of COVID-19 self-test kits increased by 142.6% in the week from the 5th to the 11th of this month compared to the previous week (June 28 to July 4). Demand was especially prominent in the Seoul metropolitan area, where sales increased by 163.8%, while sales in non-metropolitan areas rose by 93.0%.
