Cue^® helps the nation's premiere high school basketball showcase return to in-person action

SAN DIEGO, March 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cue Health ("Cue") (Nasdaq: HLTH), the healthcare technology company behind the country's most accurate at-home COVID-19 test*, today announced that its COVID-19 test will be the preferred on-site test to help support the health and safety of the student-athletes and staff at the 2022 McDonald's All American Games. The Games will celebrate 45 years of showcasing basketball's brightest young stars by returning to in-person action in Chicago tomorrow, March 29.

Cue's test uses molecular nucleic acid amplification technology (NAAT), providing lab-quality results directly to a user's connected mobile device in about 20 minutes. The test can detect all known COVID-19 variants of concern and can be used on adults and children (age 2 years and over for OTC/home use and under 2 years for professional use), with or without symptoms.

"The McDonald's All American Games is the gold standard in high school basketball, and we are proud to support the health and safety of its athletes, staff, and fans with Cue's gold standard diagnostic solution that meets a growing need for highly accurate, fast, and reliable on-site testing," said Chris Achar, Chief Strategy Officer of Cue Health.

Last month, Cue announced a partnership with former McDonald's All American and three-time NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns to donate $250,000 of Cue Readers and COVID-19 tests to public schools in Towns' home state of New Jersey and Minneapolis, Karl-Anthony's home throughout his entire playing career.

The McDonald's All American Games is one of several major live sporting events to which Cue provides its testing solution. Cue has also supported sports leagues, including the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball. In addition, many leading healthcare organizations and distributors across the country use Cue, including Johns Hopkins Medicine, Mayo Clinic, and UPMC Children's Community Pediatrics, among others.
