Muscat International Airport to test readiness

Muscat International Airport will test operational readiness on September 25, ahead of the airport's planned re-opening on October 1.
 
The registration of volunteers for taking part in the trials has been completed, said an Oman Observer report.
 
Muscat International Airport will be conducting health screening procedures and Covid-19 testing for all arriving passengers. It has invited 150 volunteers to undergo the full arrival process including registration, immigration, Covid-19 PCR tests (nasal swabs), and exit through the baggage claim hall.
 
The airport will be also testing the drive-through Covid-19 testing facility with the help of a smaller number of volunteers.
 
As part of the trial, the volunteers will receive a free PCR test (OMR 25), with the result communicated to them within 24 hours.
