London Heathrow introduced pre-flight tests for COVID-19

London Heathrow airport is now offering rapid testing for COVID-19 for passengers who are going to fly to Hong Kong and Italy.

The so-called salivary test Lamp produces a result within an hour, which is much faster than the PCR test, which requires laboratory analysis.

Passengers are offered to apply online, and for the express test they will have to pay 80 pounds (137 US dollars).

British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Cathay Pacific offer their customers to take the Lamp test.
