NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambulnz,
Inc., d/b/a DocGo, a leading provider of mobile health services and
integrated medical mobility solutions that has entered into an
agreement to merge with Motion Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: MOTN),
has deployed the largest no-cost co-testing program in the country
with multiplex testing that now includes rapid antigen tests for
flu A and flu B.
DocGo, in partnership with NYC Test & Trace Corps and NYC
Health + Hospitals, made the new tests available last week across
their Mobile Health fleet as well as in their dual-use and Street
Health and Wellness Outreach (SHOW) units. The single-swab assays
test for multiple viruses at once and provide patients with results
in as little as 15 minutes.
"DocGo's Mobile Health concept has proven uniquely valuable to
facilitate a range of medical services for underserved communities
across the City's five boroughs," said DocGo's President
Anthony Capone. "As part of our
expanding health coverage for NYC, we're proud to continue
increasing the vital services we can offer to the public."
Patients will register via DocGo's proprietary HIPAA-compliant
HealthPoint portal, healthcare providers will swab the patient, and
results will be provided via digital notification after a 15-minute
wait.
"I am glad we can offer these tests at the outset of the
flu season, so that patients can quickly know their diagnosis and
seek the resources they need," said NYC Test & Trace Corps
Executive Director Dr. Ted Long.
Each of DocGo's Mobile Health units is deployed on a
week-to-week basis and can perform up to 300 swabs per day. For a

About Test & Trace Corps
The Test & Trace
Corps is the City's comprehensive effort to test, trace, and
provide support for every case of COVID-19 and every person exposed
to the virus that causes COVID-19. Through a partnership with NYC
Health + Hospitals and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene,
the Test & Trace Corps allows the City to immediately isolate
and care for those who test positive for the virus and then rapidly
track, assess, and quarantine anyone who may have been exposed. To
help all New Yorkers safely separate at home and monitor their
health status, the Take Care pillar of the Test & Trace Corps
also offers free hotel rooms with wraparound services for New
Yorkers who are unable to safely separate in their own homes. For
those safely separating at home, contact tracers perform daily
calls and conduct in-person visits as necessary. These calls allow
tracers to gauge the progress of cases, ensure proper compliance
with separation protocol, and connect people to more supportive
services as necessary. Today, 97% of all COVID-19 cases and 95% of
contacts reported following isolation and quarantine
requirements
