$ALST specialty pharmaceutical and nutritional supplements company, is pleased to provide a Corporate update and Key Activities for 2021.
"Some recent developments in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, especially the emergence of several new strains of the virus, adds to the importance of accurate testing and reporting," remarked Dr. Daniel Bagi, CEO of AllStar. "The uncertainty of the efficacy of some of the vaccines against these new variants of the virus has also been called into question.
As a result, we believe fast, accurate testing will be in high demand for the foreseeable future and we are working hard to expand the reach of our offerings. As the economies of every country strive to reopen, especially in segments such as tourism, accurate Covid-19 testing in hours vs. days becomes even more important.
We believe a key factor to success in the tourism and other sectors is cutting the time for a PCR test result (still the gold standard) from several days to a few hours. This alone can be the difference for a tourist between several days of quarantine or only a few hours and could impact greatly on their decision whether to travel or not.
AllStar has been focusing its efforts on working with several countries and offering solutions to satisfy their testing needs.
We continue to expand on the efforts made initially in Jamaica and are in discussions with several other Caribbean Island and some African countries in developing testing and reporting systems to re-open their hard-hit tourism sectors, while also satisfying the requirements for these tourists to return home.
The solutions include: same-day testing, whether a simple Antigen test or the more complex PCR test, which in some countries now is a requirement before returning home, but also up until now very time consuming. Our goal is to offer same-day results, sometimes within a couple of hours of sample collection. This would relieve much of the testing burden and offer testing solutions for tens of thousands of people per day," concluded Dr. Bagi.
