REHOVOT, Israel, SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, May 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), an in vitro diagnostics company focused on the distribution of a comprehensive suite of solutions for the screening and diagnosis of COVID-19 and the development of blood tests for the early detection of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, today announced its first commercial sale of COVID-19 tests. The sale was made via a sub-distribution agreement with a U.S.-based medical distribution company with clients in state and local governments throughout the Southeastern United States who are seeking comprehensive testing solutions for Return-to-Work programs. Todos’ sub-distributor’s first sale was for rapid IgM/IgG fingerprick antibody test kits that will be deployed over Memorial Day weekend for the first of several Return to Church programs being planned. Todos’ sub-distributor’s church network covers over 84,000 Christian church congregations reaching over 28 million Americans.
“This sub-distribution agreement gives Todos’ U.S. distribution division access to a network of state and local governments, as well as Christian churches, and other communities of faith, that are for the first time pursuing COVID-19 testing services as they seek to responsibly reopen their congregations,” said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Todos Medical. “We provide organizations and their lab partners with access to a comprehensive, steady supply of bundled, high-quality, FDA-compliant PCR and antibody testing solutions that address their needs as they implement COVID-19 testing programs. As private organizations begin to take control of their COVID-19 testing, Todos plans to be a solutions provider for both organizations and labs seeking to more efficiently administer COVID testing in the United States.”
