EMPOWER CLINICS ANNOUNCES COVID-19 REFERRAL AGREEMENT WITH MAJOR CANADIAN AIRLINE
Empower Clinics Inc. has noted that pursuant to a referral agreement dated May 10, 2021, a major Canadian airline will now refer its passengers to Kai Care for expedited COVID-19 testing.
As the world works to close the chapter on these truly extraordinary times, people are looking to the near future to resume their prepandemic lives. While COVID-19 has fundamentally shifted the way we live, work and travel, reliable and efficient testing protocols are the key to living life fully in our new normal.
Today, Empower Clinics is announcing an agreement with a major Canadian airline, whereby passengers will have access to and benefit from a Kai Medical Laboratory COVID-19 test. Kai Care is a customized direct-to-consumer easy five-step RT-PCR at-home saliva test kit that does not need to be administered by a health care provider.
When booking a flight or navigating the airline website passengers will have options to click a link to be referred to Kai Care websites to purchase an RT-PCR Kai Saliva Test Kit.
With most countries and airlines requiring predeparture negative COVID-19 test results, travellers are encouraged to order enough test kits to use for predeparture and for prior to their return. Kai Care provides test kits by UPS overnight courier in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean (excluding Mexico).
"Our industry-leading COVID-19 tests are key to getting passengers back in their seats for business and leisure travel," said Steven McAuley, chairman and chief executive officer of Empower. "I am proud that a major Canadian airline has chosen Empower as a trusted supplier to assist with a safe restart for travel. Kai Care at-home saliva tests offer passengers a convenient, non-invasive and private way to take a COVID-19 test during what can be a stressful travel preparation period."
Kai Medical Laboratory testing method is the gold standard, detecting the active SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in patients that are symptomatic or asymptomatic. It also offers the option to test for a combination of COVID-19 and Influenza A/B, should the traveller wish. The test product and the method of test result reporting meet the current guidelines of executive travel orders to enable travelers the ability to complete the check-in, customs clearance and boarding requirements for flight travel.
This press release is available on the Empower Clinics Verified Forum on AGORACOM for shareholder discussion, questions and engagement with management.
