Why are COVID-19 test costs so expensive? Should I do a self-test?

These days, COVID-19 testing costs are really not cheap.

As the number of confirmed cases increases, I feel anxious and think I should get tested more often.

Getting a PCR test at the hospital is more expensive than I thought.

In the past, they used to do it for free, but now it seems that the burden of COVID-19 testing costs has become quite significant.

I'm starting to wonder if I should buy a self-test kit and get tested.

Self-test kits are convenient, but I'm a bit hesitant because I'm worried about their accuracy.

Still, considering the cost burden of COVID-19 testing, using a self-test kit seems to be a practical alternative.

How is everyone doing? I'm worried about the cost of the tests.

Still, if you have any symptoms of suspicion,

I think I should at least do a self-test so I don't cause harm to others.

It's quite a bitter reality that COVID-19 testing costs are burdening daily life.
