Coronavirus: a mobile laboratory will soon allow rapid testing at Brussels Airport

The mobile laboratory will be installed outside the airport terminal (departures level) and passengers will be able to perform a PCR test there. The tests will be analyzed on site in the mobile laboratory.

UA Covid-19 mobile test laboratory will soon be installed at Brussels Airport, which will allow passengers returning from a red zone to be tested upon arrival at the airport, just like departing passengers.

“Public health has been an absolute priority for Brussels Airport since the start of the coronavirus crisis. This is why we have decided to go further by offering the possibility of performing a Covid-19 test in a mobile laboratory at the airport. Anyone returning from a red zone will therefore be able to be tested upon arrival at Brussels Airport. Also departing passengers can be tested. In a quick test, the results will already be available within three hours. », Says Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company.

The mobile laboratory will be installed outside the airport terminal (departures level) and passengers will be able to perform a PCR test there. The tests will be analyzed on site in the mobile laboratory. Thus, in the case of a rapid test, the results will already be available within 3 hours and 9 hours, on average, for a standard test. Passengers arriving from a red zone who must be tested can do so at the price set by the INAMI, i.e. 46.81 euros. The standard PCR test will cost 67 euros and the rapid test 135 euros.
