Democratic Candidate for Florida Agriculture Commissioner, Ryan Morales, Seeks to Distribute COVID-19 PCR Testing to Florida Schools and Colleges
Ryan Morales Partners With ProPhase Labs for Quick, Non-invasive Saliva Collection for PCR Testing That Can Detect COVID-19, Its Variants, and Influenza Viral Strains
CLERMONT, FL, March 26, 2021 -- Democratic candidate for Florida Agriculture Commissioner, Ryan Morales has teamed up with ProPhase Labs (NASDAQ symbol PRPH) to provide non-invasive COVID-19 PCR testing for Florida students. The testing allows the students to spit into a safe collection tube, with results provided as soon as 24 hours, making it easy for school-age children to safely test as needed.
"Our goal is to test 1,000,000 kids every month until they are all vaccinated. We want to help contain the spread of COVID-19, especially within our youngest, like my girls who are 6 and 7 right now," says Mr. Morales.
According to ProPhase Labs, its SDNA Viral™ saliva-based PCR testing features pain-free self-collection, 100% in-device viral neutralization, removes the need for cold-chain storage of samples, and provides critical sample consistency for optimal accuracy. It additionally offers patients the most intuitive and safest sample collection process while delivering the most robust testing biomaterial for the detection of multiple viral infections or mutations in a single test.
This testing provides patients an immediate diagnostic advantage using a single saliva test to quickly detect and identify COVID-19, any of its 17+ current viral mutations, including those first reported in the United Kingdom and now found throughout the United States as well as Influenza A and B. Florida parents can expect to receive results from their child’s test from ProPhase Labs state-of-the-art testing facilities, via a secure mobile app in as little as 24-hours.
Mr. Morales seeks to connect with schools all across Florida to provide them with this additional layer of COVID-19 protection. Testing will be made available to all children in Pre-K to 12th grade and college students.
