Now also drive-in Test Centre at the airport
Since 31 December, all Belgian residents who return from a stay of 48 hours or more in a red zone must get tested on day 1 and day 7 upon their arrival and self-quarantine for a week. Last weekend, more than 4,600 of the 15,000 arriving passengers at Brussels Airport were tested at the airport. Over the past few days, Brussels Airport has opened three new test centres, in addition to the existing Test Centre, to expand the testing capacity for this purpose. Since this Sunday, a new drive-in test centre provides a convenient solution for passengers to get tested in their car. In addition, Brussels Airport is working with the federal police to improve the passenger flows and social distance during the checks of the Passenger Locator Forms (PLF) that will take place in the coming days.
