PITTSBURGH, PA (WKBN) – Pittsburgh International Airport offers on-site coronavirus testing.
The tests are now offered at a number of other airports in the United States
According to Blue Sky News, a publication by Pittsburgh International Airport, the test site operated by TACKL Health in Pittsburgh is expected to open on Monday, December 21, behind the security checkpoint in the Airside Terminal.
The tests are reportedly offered to passengers with tickets only from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
According to Blue Sky News, polymerase chain reaction tests (PCR) and rapid antigen tests are offered. The rapid antigen tests provide results in 15 minutes and the PCR test results take an average of 24 to 48 hours.
