New test centre for Covid-19 PCR and Antigen tests at Malmö Airport

Swedavia has signed an agreement under the Swedish Public Procurement Act with Scantest to set up a test centre at Malmö Airport.

Scantest carries out PCR and Antigen tests at the airport, and if the test result is negative a travel certificate signed by a specialist doctor is issued.

The response time is 2-4 hours for PCR tests and 30-60 minutes for Antigen tests.

“Naturally, we think it is very positive that we can now offer a service for which there is strong demand and that is absolutely crucial to our passengers and airlines at Malmö Airport,” says Karin Öhrström, airport director at Malmö Airport.

“The tests are important with the restart of air travel and in many cases are a necessary complement to the EU Covid certificate”.

“We are enormously pleased and proud to have the opportunity to expand our operations and be an important part of Malmö Airport,” says My-Lien Huynh at Scantest.
