Website for ordering coronavirus self-tests experiences technical difficulties

The website where people can order coronavirus self-tests was hard to reach on Monday, the Ministry of Health tweeted. The reason behind the technical difficulties was not yet known, a spokesperson said.

“We are working hard to resolve the issue. Try the site again at a later moment”, the Ministry of Health said. They called the situation “very inconvenient.”

All households will receive a letter with code by September with which they can order two free self-tests. The self-tests will be delivered within ten days.

With the free self-tests, travelers returning from holiday can get tested once they return from vacation. This way the Cabinet hoped to prevent a sharp spike in coronavirus cases this Fall once people have returned from their holiday.

Self-tests are also available in the supermarket, drug store and pharmacy.
