Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Reopening the Economy: Public Health Advice

Dr. Cillian De Gascun:

It depends. Our test costs have evolved over time because it depends on the platform and the number of tests being done. It also depends on the yield, the staff input and so forth. I do not know that I can give the Chairman a figure off the top of my head but broadly speaking, molecular tests or PCR tests would cost in the region of €40 to €60 in the laboratory setting. As I said, it will depend on the platform being used and on volumes.
