Although a very limited number of passengers are expected to use the facility this week, the move is regarded as a significant breakthrough in demonstrating the possibility of clearing passengers as healthy before travel and potentially ending quarantine rules.

The tests will be carried out by Collinson nurses in new facilities inside Heathrow terminals 2 and 5.
根据柯林森及其合作伙伴瑞士国际空港服务有限公司的消息，英国航空公司、维珍大西洋航空公司和国泰航空公司将成为首批提供这项服务的航空公司。
