Boots has announced it will be providing in-store antigen testing for foreign travel to those without Covid-19 symptoms from next Monday. The service will provide antigen testing in response to international travel guidelines where some countries require an antigen test to access the country, the pharmacy chain said. Rapid antigen testing will be available at 14 boots stores across the country, and Boots has emphasised that the service is strictly for people without symptoms of Covid-19. Caoimhe McAuley, MPSI, Director of Pharmacy and Superintendent Pharmacist at Boots Ireland, said: “The introduction of in-store rapid antigen testing at Boots Ireland is the latest evolution of Covid-19 services at Boots Ireland as we aim to keep pace with the changing landscape. “As international travel returns from the 19th July, different countries are operating different testing requirements for entry either using a PCR or antigen test.
