Prices are going up for some of the cheapest and most popular at-home COVID-19 test kits in the U.S.
Walmart Inc.
WMT,
and Kroger Co.
KR,
are raising their prices for BinaxNOW at-home rapid tests, after the expiration of a deal with the White House to sell the test kits at cost for $14. The two U.S. retail giants and Amazon.com Inc.
AMZN,
agreed with the Biden administration last summer to discount the tests, which are made by Abbott Laboratories
ABT,
and generally cost $24 or more for a box with two tests.
