People were not only returning to Oakland, but were purchasing COVID-19 home test kits in vending machines for $150, with results in 48 hours.
“I think as America gets back to work, everything will start picking up. It will be good,” said Michael Brodie.
Fom hand sanitizing dispensers to home test kits available in vending machines, the Oakland airport hopes travelers will feel safer to get back on flights.
“My parents are in India and they are waiting to get the vaccine. Once they do, they’ll be on a plane,” said Daniel Chunkapura.
Chunkapura and his wife said they won’t get the vaccine because they’re trying to have a baby and are weighing the risks.
