Travelers passing through California's Oakland International Airport will soon have access to a vending machine that dispenses COVID-19 test kits, according to a Audacy report.

Located in Terminal 1, the machine will offer a range of at-home testing options, including rapid antigen, saliva and PCR tests, with prices starting at about $130.

The rapid tests can deliver results in about 15 minutes, providing a convenient option for passengers who need documentation for travel requirements. The rollout comes as health authorities continue to require proof of negative COVID-19 tests for certain travelers entering the U.S.
