Gatwick Airport is to be partially utilised as a drive-through testing centre for coronavirus cases in the UK.
Initially for use by NHS staff and invited key workers, the site will be available between 09:00-17:00 daily, on an appointment-only basis.
Stewart Wingate, chief executive, Gatwick Airport, said: “We are pleased to support the national effort against the spread of the coronavirus by allowing Gatwick facilities to be used as a vital testing centre for frontline health workers.
“Alongside keeping the airport open to support repatriation flights, amongst others, we are happy to be able to support the NHS, Government and the country in whatever way we can.”
