Bradley Airport says although they don’t expect to see the same passenger volume from the past couple of years, they have still put multiple safety procedures in place.
That's including a mask mandate. All passengers and employees must wear a mask.
The airport has also increased its cleaning measures.
There are also two COVID-19 testing sites: One next to baggage claim, and a new, drive-up testing site on Lot 3 as you approach the airport.
For the new site – you don’t need to register in advance and you don’t need insurance. They are open daily from 11 am to 7 pm.
