In what could well be a forecast of the airline’s procedures in the COVID-1 era, Lufthansa announced that from today, passengers can if they wish to get tested for the virus on arrival in Frankfurt or Munich rather than going into 14-day quarantine if they travel from high-threat linked countries. These countries, as indexed at the Robert Koch Institute, come with South Africa, India, Brazil and some U.S. states, Sumando California, Texas, and Florida. (But not in New York).

Passengers register in advance for testing and, upon arrival in Frankfurt, are taken to another place where the airline’s wife, Centogene, offers corona PCR tests (chain reaction through polymers): a swab in the throat. 380 time-consistent tests are the projected number that is also processed in the airport lab with the effects returned in four or five hours to an application downloaded through the passenger; results are applicable with the passenger’s cargo ticket when it comes to an ongoing trip. (Try to arrive during normal business hours, as the facility is only open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends). In Munich, the tests are presented in collaboration with the local office. MediCare Airport Clinic in Terminal 1. Arriving passengers must also request pre-testing by email ([email protected]) with effects in 3 to four hours.

According to Dr. Bjorn Becker, Senior Director of Gcircular Products and Digital Services Control at Lufthansa Group, passengers deserve to be familiar at all times with regulations in a landscape in constant conversion of destinations they target. Since the apple mabig now requires control effects that appear to be virus-free passengers, Lufthansa passengers departing Frankfurt and Munich also deserve to do the most of those controls, preferably before their flight. “This allows them to travel safely to other countries around the world that accept a qualified CORONA PCR check to avoid quarantine,” he says.
