    Hi,
    In Germany you can buy rapid antigens test in the supermarket for €4.00. Also you can get two free rapid antigen tests per week at various test centres in the city . They will give you a certificate which allows you for 24hrs to enter in various venues depending on the local infection numbers.
    Thanks for all thd brilliant podcasts
    Grüße Annette
