The airports are considering setting up a lab to deliver results within 45 minutes • You can conduct 2,000 tests per hour • The problem: It won't be cheap, and you'll risk isolation

Significant step towards returning inbound and outbound tourism: Airport Authority officials say the construction of a Corona testing laboratory at Ben Gurion Airport is being tested, similar to the one recently established in Vienna, Austria.

Travelers who want to get in and out of Austria can pay € 190 and have a quick check, the results of which can be obtained within 45 minutes. Now, a similar laboratory is being considered in Israel. Each such testing system has about 20 units and a lab that can affect passenger traffic should have about 100 testing systems that can conduct about 2,000 tests in less than an hour.

Currently, there are several bodies working in parallel and exploring this possibility. If the subject is approved, Israelis may soon be seen boarding the plane to destinations deemed safe, with a certificate confirming that they were tested before take-off and that they are not carriers of the virus.

Similar tests exist as stated in Austria, but other countries are examining the establishment of similar arrays and it is likely that in the coming weeks, many countries will allow check-in and check-out to ensure safe flights and entry of clean tourists from Corona to their country.

In the event of a passenger arriving from abroad and carrying the virus, he will not be able to enter the country - and solutions to this problem are also being considered. He will not be able to board the flight and will also be taken to isolation.
