As countries have begun to open up, they are required to have a number of screening requirements to help manage and control the spread of COVID-19. In a number of cases, these requirements are formed around what testing technology is currently available.

Entry into (some countries) of the UAE is a good example, one of many, as they have worked hard to align their needs for entry, with currently available screening technologies.

UAE tourists are required to have both a PCR test and a rapid PCR test. The main purpose of the rapid PCR test is to make sure that there are no infectious passengers entering an aircraft. Together with the rapid test, visitors are also required to have the 'usual' PCR test.

What if the UAE and very many other countries, were able to combine their actual testing or screening needs with technology that could deliver to that specification?

This is a good example of the perfect fit that Virolens rapid screening can provide; a test result in around 20 seconds, specificity of 99.7%, sensitivity of 97.3%, easy to administer test without the need to have medical staff to undertake the test and a small operational footprint of the test devices. Virolens could be the ideal solution.

We are working hard to introduce the Virolens technology in every part of the globe. We have to ensure that regional regulators have approved the device, one country is a challenge, compliance worldwide even more so. But the news is very positive with multiple applications well underway.

Whether for transport, business, sporting events or healthcare needs, visit us today to find out more about Virolens and how KeyOptions can help you better align your screening requirements with our cutting edge technology solutions.
