10月20日，英国希斯罗机场首次开通航班起飞前检测服务，从伦敦希思罗机场飞往中国香港的旅客在办理登机手续之前可以在机场接受快速新冠病毒检测服务。

The tests, which must be pre-booked, cost 80 pounds, and results will be available within an hour.
旅客需提前预约新冠检测，检测费80英镑（约合人民币690元），一小时内出结果。

Although a very limited number of passengers are expected to use the facility this week, the move is regarded as a significant breakthrough in demonstrating the possibility of clearing passengers as healthy before travel and potentially ending quarantine rules.
