In the past 18 months, we have seen so many airports structured to offer stations where travelers can take swabs. And not only that, in some cases waiting rooms have also turned into vaccination hubs.
Today comes the announcement from the airport of Dubai: Emirates' mega hub airport opened a full-fledged in-house diagnostic center at the airport so it can speed up the time to get results and serve a higher number of patients. It is one of the largest in-house airport laboratories in the world for processing Covid-19 PCR tests.
Located near Terminal 2, the more than 1,800 m² laboratory is a facility dedicated to 24-hour processing of the RT-PCR test samples collected from DXB passengers.
The laboratory is equipped with negative and positive pressure rooms and is connected to government reporting platforms, ensuring safe and easy information sharing between health and regulatory authorities and airlines. At this time, travel to the United Arab Emirates from Italy are operated in covid tested flight mode, so this new opportunity may offer a solution to all Italian passengers.
