The testing site is being set up before security on the airport’s third level, at the West End of the Main Terminal. Testing will be available to both passengers and airport employees.

The CEO of Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Phil Brown, released the following statement, “We have partnered with one of the largest health care providers in Central Florida in order to ensure a safe operating environment at the Aviation Authority facilities. As travel increases, with certain destinations requiring COVID-19 testing prior to arrival, having an on-site clinic will enable us to better serve our customers and the community”
