You can get anything at the airport now -- even a COVID-19 test.

As air travel begins to pick up amid the coronavirus pandemic, airlines are focusing on ways to keep their employees and customers safe and healthy. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City is now the first airport to have an on-site testing location for the virus and antibodies.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the pilot program is open to all employees for the JFK terminal, airlines and other airport workers. The site has the ability to screen up to 500 employees per day, according to a press release.
