The project is designed to support measures already in place to keep the airport Covid-secure, help stop the spread of the new, more-contagious variants of the virus and provide valuable insight into how frequent rapid testing can be more widely deployed to keep vital services running.

This initiative and others like it could speed the opening of other large industries such as infrastructure engineering, railways, entertainment, hospitality, manufacturing and retail. By testing staff weekly with results within 20 minutes, consumers and employees can feel safer returning to these environments without the fear of potentially transmitting the virus and employers can have greater certainty on working hours, capacity and avoid further disruption.
