Edmonton International Airport is working with a local company on a pilot program to trial a new COVID-19 test that the company says can produce results in seconds.EIA said it has been selected as the exclusive location to host clinical trials of a coronavirus test that uses a saliva sample from a person and produces a positive or negative result in less than one minute.
Saliva tests could make spotting coronavirus easier: expert The airport hopes the rapid-result test will address the need for a 14-day quarantine period, which is currently in place for any traveller entering the country from outside Canada.“We all want travel to get back to normal and a rapid COVID-19 test will accelerate this return while enhancing passenger confidence.
