Liverpool John Lennon airport has launched a new rapid PCR Covid testing facility which can reportedly turn around results within three hours. 

The new laboratory has been designed to perform 500 tests per day, but "can easily be increased in scale to facilitate 1,000 tests and beyond if required"

LJLA confirmed the outage shortly after 1.30pm on Monday (22 April)

The laboratory, operated by healthcare company Salutaris People in partnership with Source BioScience and Test Assurance Group (TAG), can perform 500 tests a day, but can be increased in scale to facilitate up to 1,000. 

Cliff Kirby, board director of TAG, said the company has "put passengers first" whenever there has been a change in legislation regarding testing requirements.

"We are incredibly proud to be working in partnership with Liverpool John Lennon airport to support their testing needs," he added.
