The cost of PCR Covid tests for travel will be investigated “immediately”, the competition watchdog has said.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid had called for a review into “excessive” pricing and “exploitative practices” among test providers and travel bosses said the costs were putting people off going abroad.
The Competition and Markets Authority said it would explore whether there are pricing and reliability problems.
It comes as a study has found those "pinged" by the NHS app in England and Wales are up to four times more likely to have Covid-19 than someone who is not.
