HALIFAX Halifax Stanfield International Airport could soon be following the Charlottetown Airport by launching a COVID-19 rapid testing project. The relatively small Charlottetown Airport has been conducting rapid tests on arriving passengers. Staff at the Halifax airport hope to follow suit. We have actually submitted a proposal to the province and public health about how the testing could possibly take place in our facility, said Tiffany Chase, a spokesperson for the Halifax International Airport Authority.
