Contacted by AFP, the president of the FSPF, Philippe Besset, sees it as “
an additional solution

a strong demand
" and regrets that pharmacists were "
not warned early enough
" to increase their stocks, estimated "
between 800,000 and a million self-tests
", with the risk "
that many people will be disappointed. because they will want self-tests and there will not be enough
”.
