"The existing employee testing protocol we have in place enabled us to quickly ramp up efforts to support Tokyo 2020 COVID-19 testing requirements," said BioIQ Founder, President, and COO Justin Bellante. "Heightened awareness of new strains, including the Delta variant, led to the recent decision to bar spectators from the event to reduce the threat of exposure. Our goal is to provide clients, employees, and other companies with a high degree of confidence that their workers will be safe, whether they're covering the 2020 Olympics in Japan or returning to work here in the U.S."
BioIQ summarises the many COVID-19 testing options available, including at-home, retail site, and mobile workplace testing. Employers can also get advice on effective return-to-work initiatives from the company.
