Assay kit is available for many standard lab analyzers from randox.
Their own one runs 54 samples simultaneously in 5 hours. PCR amplification based assay so requires a trained technician. Most of the cost will be the tech time, but I would imagine Randox will charge a healthy mark up on the reagent.

A typical PCR based assay costs out at $0.5-$5 per sample, but I don't have specific figures for Covid 19.
