Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) this week announced a partnership with Jefferson Health and Ambulnz to bring COVID-19 testing to the airport.
The site will be located in the PHL Terminal E Departures building, and will offer multiple testing options for passengers, including an antigen test, a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, and a rapid PCR test planned in the future.
The options range in price from $70 to $130, and results will be sent to passengers on the same day for antigen tests, and within 48 to 72 hours for the standard PCR test. Parking in the Terminal E Parking Garage will be complimentary for up to 2 hours for testing patrons.
Jefferson Health will administer the testing via Rapid Reliable Testing, the COVID response division of Ambulnz, which is a joint venture with Jefferson.
“Jefferson Health and Ambulnz are ideal partners for this program, because they possess an incredible combination of world-class expertise with a focus on equity in healthcare access,” said PHL CEO Chellie Cameron. “This testing service will enable Philadelphia to safely reconnect passengers to new destinations, supporting the recovery of the entire region.”
Additional testing locations have been identified at PHL and will be announced when available.
