It’s hard to get a home nucleic acid test kit in the United States! Amazon has already sold out!

It is learned that on January 3rd local time, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States increased by more than 1 million in a single day. As the omicron variant becomes more and more severe, the demand for home nucleic acid testing kits in American families has soared.

At the same time, fake and unauthorized home nucleic acid testing kits are also aplenty for sale online.

For example, on the e-commerce website OfferUP, a home nucleic acid test kit costs as much as $150, while on Amazon, a kit costs less than $15.

Professionals said: "Using these counterfeit products not only wastes money, but also increases the risk of contracting the new coronavirus, and the accuracy of the test results is difficult to guarantee."

It is learned that nucleic acid test kits are "hard to come by" in the United States recently. All major and minor online and offline retail stores and offline pharmacies are either sold out or have empty shelves. Searching for nucleic acid test kits on Amazon also shows all results of "sold out" and "unclear arrival time".
