Heathrow Airport to offer passengers rapid Covid-19 test for €88

Passengers at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5.

London Heathrow airport will offer rapid Covid-19 tests to departing passengers as more countries require travelers to provide a clean analysis as a condition for entry.

The Oxford Lamp rapid Covid-19 tests will cost £80 (€88.25) and can be used for travel to the increasing roster of countries such as Hong Kong and Italy that are conditioning entry on a negative Covid-19 result, according to a statement from Collinson, which set up the facility at Heathrow. Results will be available in as little as 60 minutes. Other countries including Cyprus and the Bahamas mandate a Rt-Pcr test, which takes longer and isn’t offered at Heathrow.
