Travel and Tourism Testing
REDUCE,MITIGATE,CONTROL,ASSESS The Risk of Infection and Spread of COVID-19 in Travel and Tourism
The desire to travel to visit loved ones, tourist attractions or for business remains strong. Unfortunately, the rules for COVID-19 testing in the Travel and Tourism industries remain very fluid, but one thing remains true and is that taking a rapid antigen test prior to departure remains an essential component to preventing travel delays or cancelations. Test before you go with our affordable at home solution, identyME, to reduce risk of infection and the spread of COVID-19 while visiting friends and families or enjoying tourist attractions around the world.
Tourism
ANALYZE YOUR REGIONAL / CURRENT SITUATION
Every event and tourism spot is different in infection rates and economic and political environments. Use our risk management matrix to help you ease governmental lockdown restrictions and adapt your safety protocols based on science.
INCLUDE TESTING IN YOUR HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS
The safety of events is being compromised by "social distancing" measures. To allow gatherings to be held without social distancing, a controlled environment must be created by testing guests and staff.
TIME IS IMPORTANT: QUICK RESULTS & LIMITED TIMEFRAME
A negative test result merely provides a "snapshot" of the tested person's health. The same person can become infected shortly after the test, so we must consider incubation times and calculate the risk of becoming infectious.
IMPLEMENT TESTING CYCLE FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY
After becoming infected, the average incubation period is 5.1 days, so after 3-4 days, we need to re-test to prevent a possible spread. We reach the highest safety level four days after the negative test.
Travel
IDENTIFY POSITIVE CASES BEFORE THEY TRAVEL
We want anyone who tests positive not to travel and isolate for 14 days. For this reason, testFRWD sends the DIY kit to the customer right after purchasing a ticket so that the customer knows about his health status BEFORE traveling.
100% TESTED EVENTS WITH APP ENTRY CONTROLS
To create a 100% tested event, anyone wishing to attend must be COVID-negative before the event. We control the health status of the guests, performers, and staff upon entry via the testFRWD APP.
COLLECT VALUABLE DATA FOR SCIENCE PARTNERS
Even at this stage, there is a lot that we do not know about the novel coronavirus. Global testing efforts have one objective: to monitor and contain the virus. 100% COVID-tested events allow us to gather de-identified data, 100% anonymous, for academic institutions.
TESTS MUST BE AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYBODY
Through our international network of laboratories and the vast numbers of tests we provide daily, we can keep prices at about 50% of the market price. With help from the government, we can reduce the price even further.
