Turin Airport launches the rapid monitoring service on a voluntary basis for passengers departing and arriving from the airport.
The structure, created in collaboration with ASL Città di Torino and Air Medical, provides passengers traveling to and from Turin, in possession of a valid travel document, a service aimed at reducing the risk of spreading the pandemic from Covid-19 through the performance of serological tests with timely results released in 10 minutes.
The monitoring at Turin Airport, accessible at a cost of € 30, is carried out through a Covid-19 IgG / IgM serological test: the device, registered at the Ministry of Health, following the collection of a drop of blood, allows rapid detection and simultaneous with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies of class G and M, providing timely results on one's health status.
In the event of a positive result, passengers will be immediately given a nasopharyngeal molecular swab at the airport for free.
Thanks to a special agreement, signed between ASL City of Turin, Air Medical and Turin Airport, all data collected by the Covid Test Point will be made available to the health authorities and used for statistical purposes, to understand and monitor the progress of development of the Covid-19 epidemic.
Air Medical also offers non-passengers the opportunity to carry out the serological test and swab for a fee, by appointment.
The Covid Test Point of Turin Airport will be open from Monday to Sunday, with the following opening hours:
• Monday to Friday from 8 to 20
• Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 8 to 19
Users with travel documents will be able to spontaneously present themselves at the Covid Test Point once they arrive at Turin Airport, or will have the opportunity to book in advance on the Air Medical website at the link https://airmedicalservice.eu.
