Beginning May 2, COVID-19 testing will be available at the San Luis Obispo Airport (SBP).
Inbound and outbound travelers and airport employees will be able to use the new testing facility voluntarily.
SBP is partnering with Templeton-based Nova Labs to administer two different types of tests.
People can choose between a saliva test with results available in four hours and a nasal swab with results available within 48 hours.
Courtney Pene is the deputy director of planning and outreach at SBP. She said each test will cost $100, but insurance companies are billed for the cost, so insured individuals will not be directly charged for a test.
