(TAN): Finnair has announced to collaborate with the private Finnish healthcare service company Terveystalo to offer coronavirus testing at a discounted price to its customers prior to travel. The service will be launched on September 28.
The PCR test from nose and throat swab to be used by Terveystalo is the most accepted coronavirus test around the world. Different countries have varying requirements for coronavirus testing and related documents. Terveystalo specialists will discuss these with the customer, and the customer will be provided with an adequate test and a certificate that fulfils the destination country’s requirements valid at the time.

Customers can choose their closest Terveystalo clinic for testing from a wide network across Finland. In the capital area of Finland, the result is ready in 24 hours from testing and elsewhere in Finland in 36 hours on average. Customers receive information on the result with a short message, and the certificate is delivered electronically or in a printed form.
“As travel restrictions are lifted, it is important to enable travelling with peace of mind. Although interaction through digital channels is a good option for many situations, face-to-face encounters are still needed for both work and leisure. At Terveystalo, we also want to support businesses and offer solutions for work travellers,” says Karita Reijonsaari, Director of Business Development, Corporate Health, Terveystalo.
