HealthLynked
Updates its Covid-19 Tracker Application to Include Omicron Variant
Cases
Company continues to
improve tracking of COVID-19 cases across the United States to
better inform users
Naples, FL -- January 13,
2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK) a global healthcare network
focused on care management of its members and a provider of
healthcare technologies that connect doctors, patients, and medical
data, today announced the launch of its updated COVID-19 Tracker
Application (App) to include confirmed cases of the Omicron variant
as reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The HealthLynked COVID-19 Tracker Application was first
released on the Apple App Store in March 2020 at the height of the
pandemic. The updated App will now include confirmed cases of the
Omicron variant as reported by the CDC and local state health
departments, while continuing to track COVID-19 cases and global
statistics. Other features of the App will remain in place,
including, real-time chat and updates from the CDC and World Health
Organization (WHO).
Dr. Michael Dent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
stated, "The updated COVID-19 Tracker App is essential now that the
Omicron variant is spreading more rapidly than the original
SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Delta variant. Concerns about children
returning to schools, the evolving guidelines for vaccines for
children and vaccine boosters make this update even more important
to educate our users about new cases so that they are better
informed to make decisions to protect themselves and their loved
ones."
