Two coronavirus testing facilities are opening at Dublin Airport. Passengers and the general public will be able to take either a drive-through or walk-in test. The sites will initially have the capacity for up to 12,000 tests per day, but the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) said this will soon be increased to 15,000. The facilities will be operated by healthcare firms Randox and RocDoc, and both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) testing will be available, with prices starting at 99 euro. Sophie Boyd, project manager for Randox’s testing service at the airport, said: “We have significant capacity in place to implement high volume PCR testing, which is currently the only method of Covid-19 testing recognised and approved by every country worldwide.
