Covid: Government warns Covid test firms over misleading pricesMore than 80 Covid test firms are issued with warnings and could be taken off the government's website. It's a roaring business these days..... About time. None of those companies offered tests at the affordable rates that were advertised. Those tests are exorbitant.
