Rapid Covid-19 tests work as well as quarantine for travel: Research

Research commissioned by airlines British Airways-owner IAG, Virgin Atlantic and others found that a single on-arrival antigen test is as effective as a ten-day self-isolation period in reducing imported cases of Covid-19.

Rapid antigen tests on arrival after travel can be just as effective as quarantining to stop imported cases of Covid-19, according to new research which the travel industry hopes will convince Britain to open up its borders this summer.
