When I read the article the first time, there was no time period indicated, but I had the feeling that it was talking about very recent tests. But now they've actually updated the article with new information that it's from March to August. When listening to Dr. Ola Winqvist, it actually sounds like it started in June, when the government was pushing for increased testing. The original article said that it's a self test. As far as I can remember, the self testing started in June.
