Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Airline passengers undergo COVID-19 blood
tests before boarding
A new norm for air travel? Passengers of an Emirates
flight to Tunisia are now tested their blood at Dubai International Airport. The
10-minute test checks if the passenger’s blood has increased antibodies. If the
person is exposed to the virus, antibodies are developed to fight against it. Even
though the test does not diagnose if the person is actually infected by the
virus or not, it helps the person, airline, and health authority to decide whether
he/she should fly or not.
Will such a medical check become a standard procedure
to board an airplane or ship? Will you feel safer to have all the fellow
passengers tested before boarding?
One thing is for sure. You need to arrive at
the airport earlier than before.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this
new preboarding protocol at the airport.
