Misleading debate
The argument over whether the state cannot cover the cost of all diagnostic Covid-19 tests for all citizens, or can only do so for specific categories such as school pupils, may be understandable.

On top of being fruitless, the debate risks taking a toll on people’s confidence in self-testing kits at a time when they are essential in helping curb the spread of the virus.
