Today, Saturday, January 8, the deadline for the supply of self test by students and teachers expires, in view of the reopening of schools from Monday, after the break for the Christmas holidays.
However, as of yesterday, there are already complaints and protests about lack of self test in many pharmacies in the region and in Attica, as shown by the report of Newsit.gr.
On the occasion of these protests, government sources state that – although there were gaps in pharmacies due to increased demand – there is the necessary stock to serve all students and teachers,
Specifically, government sources state that:
By Friday night, more than 6 million test 1,287,000 beneficiaries had been available. That is, 3 out of 4 eligible students and teachers have taken their respective tests.
Due to the high demand, there were gaps in pharmacies and until late at night and early this morning, the necessary actions were taken to supply the pharmacies from the drug stores as well as from the stock of civil protection in order to cover any shortages.
The pharmacies today, the third day of the distribution of the tests to the beneficiaries, remain open until 5-6 pm and continue the free distribution to those citizens who have not received them.
It is estimated that today more than 1 million tests will be available.
There is the necessary stock to serve all beneficiaries.

An additional self test for the 1st week (January 10-15) for schools, ie 3 free tests instead of 2.
