London Heathrow airport will offer rapid Covid-19 tests to departing passengers as more territories require travelers to provide virus assessments as a condition of entry.
The Oxford LAMP tests will cost 80 pounds ($104) and can be used for travel to destinations including Hong Kong and Italy that are requiring a negative Covid-19 result, according to a statement Tuesday from Collinson Group, which set up the facility at Heathrow. Results will be available in as little as 60 minutes.
