[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Convenience store 7-Eleven announced on the 15th that it will sell COVID-19 self-test kits supplied by the government starting from the 17th, in accordance with the "Self-Test Kit Distribution Improvement Measures" announced by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.


Under this measure, 7-Eleven plans to sell COVID-19 self-test kits at over 10,000 stores nationwide. The ‘Humasis COVID-19 Home Test’ kits, supplied in boxes of 1 million units, will be repackaged into single units and sold at 6,000 KRW each. Customers can purchase up to 5 kits per person.


For consumer convenience, 7-Eleven has made it easy to check the stock quantity of self-test kits available at nearby stores for convenient purchase. By clicking on over-the-counter medicines or searching related keywords such as ‘COVID test kit’ in the ‘Find Products in My Neighborhood’ service in the 7-Eleven mobile app (7app) chat window, customers can check the real-time stock quantity of self-test kits by nearby stores.



No Hyunggyun, MD of the Non-Food Team at 7-Eleven, said, “As COVID-19 cases continue to rise recently, we are focusing on securing inventory so that customers can quickly and conveniently purchase self-test kits through nearby 7-Eleven stores.”
