SCREENPRO SECURITY IS READY TO HELP CANADIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT WITH INCREASED COVID TESTING CAPACITY
Screenpro Security Inc. is ready to help the Canadian people, the government and local businesses with COVID testing. Screenpro has been increasing its testing capacity for both rapid antigen with results in 10 minutes, and the laboratory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, with results within 24 hours in preparation of this holiday season.
The company has ramped up its medical doctors and nursing staff. The company is available to help all levels of government if asked and its team can also provide COVID testings for holiday gatherings, corporate gatherings and individuals with preventative screening to determine the presence or absence of COVID.
Screenpro is also able to provide Health Canada-approved travel documents for both PCR and antigen COVID test results.
Demand for tests has historically been tied to surges of confirmed COVID-19 cases and with new variants. The company feels testing will remain important throughout 2022.
Andrew Ryu, chairman of Screenpro, commented: "The company has taken action to mitigate impact on supply chain with testing kits and secured supplies to safeguard our operational capability with production and distribution capacity from our supply partners. It is important that we all respond on multiple fronts with the many variants circulating globally to protect the population with continued testing and contact tracing."
"With the Omicron variant surging through Canada's population and daily case counts hitting an all-time high, and with an increase in demand for COVID-19 testing services across the country, it is as important as ever to get tested and prevent the spread of the virus and help keep the countries hospital ICU's from hitting capacity. We continue to see an increased number of appointments being booked and can respond with our medical staff and lab capacity," stated Lena Kozovski, chief executive officer of the company.
