Passengers can pass a test for coronavirus at the airport of Krasnodar

Krasnodar International Airport launched a specialized route laboratory Medservice.  The project was implemented jointly with the federal network of independent clinical and diagnostic laboratories. Now, any passenger arriving in the city can take a PCR test to detect COVID-19 right on the territory of the airport. The result is received by e-mail within three days. If necessary, the letter will be translated into a foreign language.

The installation of a route laboratory on the territory of the air harbor was especially relevant on the eve of the New Year holidays. Passenger traffic increased due to guests planning to spend the weekend in sanatoriums and resorts of the Krasnodar Region.

White bus of the mobile laboratory located on the forecourt of the Krasnodar airport before leaving the arrival area in Terminal 1. The cost of a PCR test is 2000 rubles.
