Hamburg Airport has introduced numerous measures onsite to make it easier to observe the now familiar distancing and hygiene regulations. This includes the requirement to wear a mask, markings on the floor and on seats, plexiglass panes and disinfectant dispensers. With a mobile service team in the terminals and on the Passenger Pier, the airport is providing additional support and information for all passengers.
There are two COVID-19 test centres at Hamburg Airport. The test centre operated by the City of Hamburg and the German Red Cross in Terminal Tango provides free mandatory tests for persons returning from RKI risk areas. The Centogene test centre in Terminal 1 offers express tests, for which a fee must be paid, to the general public.
