Home&Shopping Schedules Broadcast for COVID-19 Self-Test Kit Sales
Planned to Stabilize Supply Due to Shortage of Self-Test Kits
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Home&Shopping (CEO Kim Ok-chan) announced on the 11th that it has urgently scheduled a broadcast for selling COVID-19 self-test kits.
The scheduled broadcast for the 'Rapigen COVID-19 Self-Test Kit' will take place from 5:35 PM on the 12th. It was planned to stabilize the supply and demand of self-test kits, which are currently experiencing shortages due to the ongoing spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant. Amid unstable prices caused by supply shortages, the company plans to stabilize the market by setting relatively affordable prices through negotiations with the manufacturer.

The Rapigen self-test kit being sold this time received formal product approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in July last year, not conditional approval. A Home&Shopping official stated, "Considering the shortage and rapid price increase of COVID-19 self-test kits, this broadcast was prepared for the public good rather than profit," adding, "We hope this broadcast sale will help stabilize the supply of self-test kits."
