UK health chief sees 'unfair' pricing for COVID travel tests

Britain’s competition watchdog said Sunday it will look into the cost of COVID-19 testing for travelers after Health Secretary Sajid Javid complained that high prices for the government-mandated tests were preventing some people from going on vacation. Prices quoted by providers listed on the government website range from 17 pounds ($24) to 250 pounds ($347). Javid said Sunday that he had asked the Competition and Markets Authority to crackdown on “unfair market practices” by test providers.
