Starting August 30, 2021, Shanghai will reduce the price of COVID-19 testS from 80 RMB to 60 RMB in all public medical institutions.

To prepare for disease control in the autumn and winter seasons, which are typically peak seasons for contagions like COVID-19, the Shanghai disease control leading team has decided to reduce the cost of PCR tests in public medical institutions.

Not all institutions in Shanghai provide all-day service, which may cause additional inconvenience for people in urgent need.

We compiled a list of medical facilities that offer 24-hour testing services:
