The Hygiene and Epidemiology Centre of Sverdlovsk Region has opened a coronavirus infection testing post in Koltsovo international airport (part of the Airports of Regions holding). Everyone may pass a real time test on the ground floor of Terminal B from 9:00 to 16:30 with no days off. After the opening of international air travel from Yekaterinburg they plan to switch to the 24/7 operating mode.
The laboratory capacity of the Hygiene and Epidemiology Centre of Sverdlovsk Region allows the testing result to be received within 24 hours after a test is delivered. For convenience’s sake the test scan form is sent to the email (it’s in this format that it needs to be uploaded by those arriving from abroad onto gosuslugi.ru within 3 days).
There is a comfortable and safe environment at the testing facility for those passing a test.
Stringent measures are taken at Koltsovo airport to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. Wearing a mask is mandatory in the airport. All visitors to the airport pass through thermovision monitoring, whereas public spaces and check-in counters are treated with disinfectants. Signposts and PA alerts remind of the need to keep social distancing.
