Oct. 29—Passengers going through Logan's Terminal E soon will be able to grab much more than duty free: a coronavirus test.

The company XpresSpa Group has set up the "XpresCheck" COVID-19 testing facility in the terminal before security, giving people the option to pay for a test there at Boston Logan International Airport.

The facility, which includes seven rooms for testing, will be available to passengers by mid-November, and right now is available for airport employees. It will be able to carry out more than 400 tests a day, according to a news release from MarketPlace Logan, which manages concessions in the busy airport.

People can choose between three different tests: a regular coronavirus test for $75, a rapid test for $200 or a $75 antibody test, which shows whether someone has had the virus. Someone can get all three for $215.

" By expanding our preventative measures and adapting to new technology with the arrival of XpresCheck, we remain committed to ensuring the health and safety of our passengers and employees," said Paul McGinn, President of MarketPlace Development. "Having easy access to a testing site at the airport will continue to provide a further sense of security for those who travel through Boston Logan now or in the future."

Terminal E is Logan's international terminal. Airline travel nosedived at the start of the pandemic and has been slow to recover, according to Massport, which owns and operates Logan.
