To ensure an adequate collection of samples, the kit also contains a virtual webcam visit with a live CityHealth clinician who will guide patients through the process of nasal swab collection.

The affordable remote Covid-19 testing kit also includes a prepaid expedited shipping label, which helps patients to mail the samples directly to the lab for processing.

CityHealth CEO Sean Parkin said: “Our goal is always to make excellent healthcare widely accessible, so it was important to us that this test be as affordable as possible while still offering fast accurate results.

“We’re grateful to our lab partners, Predicine Labs, for helping us develop this test and for consistently providing quick test turnaround times.”
