SINGAPORE — Demand for antigen rapid test (ART) kits has risen in the past week, and more stocks are expected to arrive in stores soon, retailers said.

ART kits have run out of stock in some stores. In response to CNA’s queries, three retailers — FairPrice, Guardian and Watsons — said they are working with suppliers to ensure a steady supply of ART kits.

This could be due to the"heightened number" of Covid-19 cases and"public awareness" on regular testing, the spokesperson added. "Stocks in our stores remain available with more expected to arrive in the next two weeks. We continue to work closely with our suppliers to meet the needs of customers," said the FairPrice spokesperson.

More people returning to offices and Chinese New Year festivities could be behind the surge in demand, the spokesperson added.
