XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) (“XpresSpa” or the “Company”),
a health and wellness company, in conjunction with the Port of
Seattle, announces the opening of an XpresCheck™ COVID-19 testing
facility at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
XpresCheck is a pop-up facility that is located
pre-security inside the terminal, in the Baggage Claim area near
Carousel 9. Eight separate testing rooms provide the capacity to
administer over 500 tests per day. COVID-19 testing options include
the Rapid Molecular COVID-19 Test and the Polymerase Chain Reaction
(PCR) Test.
Doug Satzman, XpresSpa CEO, stated, "We are
pleased to open our first XpresCheck testing facility on the West
Coast at SEA Airport. In addition to providing testing services for
those passengers flying within the continental US, numerous direct
flights to Hawaii originate at SEA. As a trusted partner of
Hawaiian Airlines and the state of Hawaii, we are now able to
provide passengers with accessible testing options for those taking
a long awaited Hawaii getaway.”
“By expanding our preventative and safety
measures with the arrival of XpresCheck, this adds to our layered
and comprehensive response to protect your health and well-being.
The pandemic paused travel for the last year, and rightly so. Now,
travelers are more comfortable booking trips with the right
planning and precautions to stay healthy. Having easy access to a
testing site at the airport is part of how we’re evolving with
travelers during the pandemic,” added SEA Managing Director Lance
Lyttle.
The testing is by appointment for ticketed
passengers up to 72 hours prior to travel. Testing is available
seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Travelers may schedule
appointments online at XpresCheck.com.
If you test positive, Public Health and the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will be notified. A member of
XpresSpa’s medical staff will also contact the passenger to advise
to self-isolate for at least 10 days and to notify close contacts
for 48 hours prior to the positive test or development of symptoms,
and request that they self-quarantine for 14 days.
The CDC recommends that travelers get tested
before and after trips. It is suggested to obtain a viral test one
to three days before your trip. Have the results of your negative
test before you travel and keep a copy of your results with you
during travel. If you test positive, do not travel
and immediately quarantine yourself and follow public health
recommendations. CDC suggests getting tested again with a viral
test three to five days after your trip and stay home and
self-quarantine for a full seven days after travel, even if your
test is negative.
If you’re departing or connecting from SEA and
seeking a COVID-19 test before travel, check the guidance by
destination to understand if a COVID-19 test is needed. XpresSpa is
a trusted testing partner for flights to Hawaii as part of its
pre-travel testing program. Information on COVID-19 testing and
travel requirements is available on the airport’s website. Contact
your airline with questions.
COVID-19 testing at SEA is also available with
Discovery Health MD through April. Read online for information on
additional testing options.
