COVID-19 Business Recovery: Testing, Health Passes, and Vaccination

Overview

Welcome to the Aviation Operations During COVID-19 Business Restart and Recovery: Testing Facilities and Vaccine Distribution course.

COVID-19 testing, if implemented in a coordinated and consistent risk-based manner, can help to reduce reliance on travel restrictions and restrictive quarantine measures. Testing, therefore, can play a big role in the recovery of air travel.

Vaccines are also critical to aviation restart and recovery and airports play a central role in facilitating the rapid and safe delivery of large volumes of vaccines and the associated medical equipment.
