[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4780730, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/scoop%3A-ups-pilots-try-rapid-covid-test-to-avoid-hong-kong-quarantines'][B]Exclusive: UPS pilots try rapid COVID test to avoid Hong Kong quarantines - Freight Waves[/B][/URL] UPS Airlines pilots are testing themselves for COVID midflight, using a novel rapid antigen device that has yet to be approved by the U.S., and sending the results ahead to Hong Kong in an effort to avoid lengthy government quarantines on arrival, FreightWaves has learned. The express carrier is participating in a trial of the Covi-Stix detection kit manufactured by Sorrento Therapeutics to support Food and Drug Administration authorization and prevent pilots flying from the company’s Anchorage hub from being isolated against their will in Hong Kong, according to an internal email shared with FreightWaves. A second source with knowledge of UPS’ operations confirmed the existence of the voluntary program for crew members on direct flights from Anchorage to Hong Kong. [/QUOTE]
