Oakland International was the first airport in the country to have one of these new machines, which dispenses an at-home kit for $130 to $150.

“As one of the first airports to offer on-site rapid COVID testing, we are now providing more testing options for travelers,” said Aviation Director Bryant L. Francis, “We still urge travelers to make sure they are current on any quarantines and regulations at their destinations.”

Those looking to get an at-home Wellness 4 Humanity test may also be able to get reimbursed by their insurance companies.

The kit provides everything you need to collect a saliva sample and ship it off for testing.
