DIA, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is providing weekly COVID-19 testing for full-time employees. Those airport employees who interact with travelers like maintenance, customer service, concessions and airline, will be tested for COVID-19 once a week.

Agents with TSA will not be tested for the virus through this program. CBS4 is waiting on a response from TSA for more details on their testing frequency.
