European diagnostic services provider Unilabs and International Air Transport Association (IATA) have signed an agreement to incorporate Unilabs' worldwide Covid-19 testing network into IATA Travel Pass.The agreement will make Unilabs one of the first major lab groups to be integrated into IATA's Travel Pass app. Proof of a negative Covid-19 test is required by many governments as a condition of entry, and the app makes the process seamless, secure and easy."Covid-19 testing will play a role in re-starting international travel. Travellers will need to understand test requirements, locate labs, verify their identity to the lab and transfer their test results to relevant parties - airlines and governments - as needed," said Willie Walsh, IATA's Director General."Our partnership with Unilabs will give travellers access to Unilabs' extensive network and help them securely and efficiently manage their test results," he said.IATA Travel Pass provides information on entry requirements, directs travellers to trusted labs, and allows passengers to receive and manage digital certificates for Covid-19 tests or vaccinations.Unilabs will be able to securely upload test results in IATA Travel Pass, which are then checked against the IATA Timatic global registry of national health requirements, to produce an "OK to Travel" status. Through the app, passengers can share their status and the digital test certificates with authorities, airports and airlines."We are delighted that IATA has chosen us for this initiative," said Michiel Boehmer, Unilabs' President and COO. "As international travel starts coming back, we are ready to do our bit - delivering the fast, effective, and reliable Covid-19 tests that will get people moving again."Unilabs and IATA are currently running a pilot programme in the UAE. Once the processes are successfully up and running, the initiative will be rolled out to other entities of the Unilabs network in many countries.Alongside PCR tests, Unilabs also performs antigen and serology tests. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the lab group has performed close to 10 million Covid-19 tests across its network in 17 countries.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
