"We are seeing very strong demand for our rapid results antigen
tests, both at our PharmCo locations and where we are called to
administer and analyze on-site for customers," commented Alan Jay
Weisberg, interim CEO and Chairman of the Board at Progressive
Care. "We have received our first order of more than 700 tests and
have access to large supplies to meet the needs for future
orders."
The BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of the SARS-CoV-2
virus is an antigen-based testing system designed to detect
proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 when applied to
respiratory specimens such as those produced through nasal
swabbing. Data shows exceptional accuracy of results, with fewer
than 2% of every 1,000 tests producing a false negative result and
fewer than 1% of every 1,000 tests producing a false positive
result.
The Company has already rolled out these expanded rapid results
testing services in the Miami metropolitan area, and it intends to
expand this service to all PharmCo locations over coming weeks.
Management notes that the Company's testing service already shows
signs of regional market leadership, as indicated by its related
website now trending at or near the top in internet search results
for COVID-19 testing in Miami.
Weisberg added, "As our economy reopens and with the looming
return of cold and flu season, and early signs of a likely
resurgence in Covid-19 cases as a seasonal risk in the northern
hemisphere, testing will be our most important frontline defense
ahead of vaccine, which experts believe may still be many months
away in terms of access for most people. Progressive Care is
grateful for the opportunity to provide an effective resource for
our surrounding communities."
