英機場推快速新冠檢測

Passengers flying from London Heathrow to Hong Kong will be able to have a rapid COVID-19 test at the airport before checking in, after the UK's first pre-departure facility opened on Oct 20.
10月20日，英國希斯羅機場首次開通航班起飛前檢測服務，從倫敦希思羅機場飛往中國香港的旅客在辦理登機手續之前可以在機場接受快速新冠病毒檢測服務。

The tests, which must be pre-booked, cost 80 pounds, and results will be available within an hour.
旅客需提前預約新冠檢測，檢測費80英鎊（約合人民幣690元），一小時內出結果。

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.
儘管預計本週使用該服務的乘客數量非常有限，但此舉被視爲一項重大突破，可在乘客旅行前證明他身體健康，甚至可能結束隔離規定。

The tests will be carried out by Collinson nurses in new facilities inside Heathrow terminals 2 and 5.
航空服務企業柯林森集團的護士將在希思羅機場2號和5號航站樓開展快速檢測服務。

British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Cathay Pacific will be the first airlines to offer it, according to Collinson and its partner in the facility, Swissport.
根據柯林森及其合作夥伴瑞士國際空港服務有限公司的消息，英國航空公司、維珍大西洋航空公司和國泰航空公司將成爲首批提供這項服務的航空公司。
