Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Aviation
Mr. Ray Gray:
I thank the Deputy for his question. We are actively examining the capability of putting in testing at the airport. However, I should say at the outset that the capability for testing today is very limited in this country. There are a relatively small number of parties that could operate a testing facility at the airport and these are very early days. Second, the number of tests that could be handled, physically, at an airport would be restricted. However, we think it can play an important part in providing public confidence and providing efficiency in particular situations.
