“As we saw with Canadian Thanksgiving, the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday appears to be a super-spreader event that is increasing the demand for testing,” says Mr. Doug Sommerville, CEO of QuestCap, Inc. “We believe this will drive increased demand for testing and are excited to have an additional 25 sites operational before Christmas. As we saw leading up to Thanksgiving, people are eager to get tested before visiting family and loved ones. We will be in a position to capitalize on this demand and provide effective and convenient testing to Americans across the country.”
Collection Sites Continues to Engage Government on Vaccine Distribution Opportunity
The Collection Sites team continues to engage multiple levels of government across the United States with the goal of using the Collection Sites network of pop-up labs as vaccine distribution centres. While there are still regulatory and logistical challenges associated with this opportunity, the Collection Sites team believes the benefits of faster and more convenient vaccine distribution has the potential to help the United States reduce the spread of COVID-19.
