On Friday night the State Material Reserves Administration announced a tender to supply five million antigen Covid tests for Czech schools, news outlets reported. Only firms offering testing kits that have already been approved may enter the competition, which closes on Tuesday at noon.

The government decided on Thursday that the State Material Reserves Administration would be charged with acquiring the coronavirus tests for schools.

The company that wins the tender will have to supply 1.5 million tests by the end of March and deliver the rest by April 12.
