your right you may get covid in air port or on flight, take our test day before once negative show your passport and your good to fly? at least then all known travellers would be 99% clear unless they pick virus up on the way to the airport.
Not sure how they could provide tests in the numbers required at heathrow given the amount of space and passengers and how quick are pcr tests to spot a very recent infection....If you got Covid19 at the departure airport or on the plane how likely is it to register in any test only a few hours later. In which case I think our test carried out the day before travel (at the travelers leisure )and loaded onto your health status prova app may be just as useful in the long term.. save waiting around at the airport to be tested. that could take literally hours and how long would a socially distanced queue wait as each person is tested.
Would be nice.
Got to be something in the works.
Is this us?
"Passengers arriving at Heathrow airport from “red list” countries like the US will be able to pay for Covid-19 tests to beat quarantine, under a pilot expected to be backed by the Department for Transport.
Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, has signalled his support for Covid-19 testing as a way to revive flying after it was decimated by the pandemic and is seeking to agree international standards that could allow quarantine-free air travel.
The Daily Telegraph has established that 21 countries including Austria, Iceland, Jersey, Madeira, Thailand, Singapore, Barbados, Jamaica and Japan have already introduced airport tests that can allow some passengers to avoid quarantine if they are negative for Covid-19.
Under the plan, arrivals at Heathrow would have to pay £150 for the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based swab tests, as used by the NHS and administered in a clinic airside at the airport.
The 90-second test, which takes swabs from throat and nose, produces results in between seven and 24 hours and has a 100 percent accuracy rate, according to medical trials.
They would be expected to quarantine until they got their results, which, provided they were negative, would then exempt them from self-isolating for the remainder of the 14 days. Only arrivals taking the tests and getting an all-clear would be exempt."
