"Working in concert with Matrix, our Public Health Advisory Board, and leading epidemiologists, BioIQ has developed testing protocols for healthcare workers, emergency responders, critical infrastructure, and specific industries—including retail, manufacturing, food services, transportation, logistics, power, and technology—to meet their specific needs."
Beyond simple one-size-fits-all testing, the BioIQ platform in combination with Matrix's robust national clinical network, provides a solution for getting back to work immediately and keeping employees safe and productive at work as the pandemic evolves over the coming months and quarters. In accordance with CDC, state, and local guidelines, prioritization remains on healthcare workers, essential infrastructure, and vulnerable populations.

Our on-site clinical staff can quickly identify and manage at-risk employees and, with BioIQ's COVID-19 testing platform, help them stay safe and healthy."
