XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) (“XpresSpa” or the “Company”),
a health and wellness company, in conjunction with the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority, announces the opening of two
XpresCheck™ COVID-19 Testing Facilities today, located at Dulles
International Airport and Reagan National Airport. This agreement
will be administered by MarketPlace Development, the contractor
overseeing the concessions program at Dulles International and
Reagan National on behalf of the Airports Authority.
“We have seen growing interest from airport customers in having
COVID testing in airports, as more countries require visitors to
have a negative COVID test prior to traveling,” said John E.
Potter, president and chief executive officer of the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority. “We are excited to offer passengers
this service and hope it will make their journeys easier and help
rebuild confidence in flying.”
At Dulles International, XpresCheck is a pop-up facility located
pre-security in the main terminal on the baggage claim level, near
door 2. Nine separate testing rooms will have the capacity to
administer more than 500 tests per day. At Reagan National,
XpresCheck is a pop-up facility in the
existing XpresSpa location pre-security in National Hall
near Terminal B. Four separate testing rooms will have the capacity
to administer over 300 tests per day.
Doug Satzman, XpresSpa CEO, stated, "We are pleased to have
opened these two XpresCheck facilities in Washington, D.C. Our
focus remains providing reliable and convenient testing for all
airline employees and passengers to ensure they feel safe and
confident when traveling through our nation’s capital.”
COVID-19 testing options at both airports includes the Rapid
Molecular COVID-19 Test, with test results available immediately,
and the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test, with results
available typically in one to three days. Health insurance is not
accepted on-site, but documentation will be provided to allow
testing claims to be submitted directly to health insurance
companies by the passenger. Tests are available on a walk-in basis
or by appointments, which can be made by visiting
