How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
By providing at-home lab testing services, Lab-U is helping Mexicans learn if they have the COVID19 virus from the safety of their homes, without spreading the virus further. This is especially helpful if people live with senior adults or others that are at higher risk to get COVID19. By knowing if they have COVID19 or not, individuals can take the right precautions and seek treatment if necessary. Lab-U is making health solutions more accessible during this pandemic and giving Mexicans more control over their health.
