The global pandemic has stopped us from attending the usual events, conferences, and trade shows that takes up a big chunk of the cinema and gaming space' events. It has only been in the recent months we were able to see slight changes in the protocols mandated by the government. Heather Blair recently sat on a quick interview with Roberta, Business Development Catalyst of her own brand and representative of iCaretests. They discussed about the precautionary options available in the market that will help businesses to produce COVID free zones for their workspaces, and possible events.

1. Tell us about iCaretests.com - how did you learn about them.

‍
I met Mirko Manfredi, iCaretests CEO, at the National Indian Gaming Association conference in Las Vegas last month. I was on the “Future of Hospitality” panel for the University of Las Vegas School of Hospitality (#1 in the world!)  and Mirko was in the audience. We spoke after the panel discussion and I became intrigued with the idea of helping change the current question from “are you vaccinated or not”…to are you contagious? Later I met the COO Mia Kim and was very impressed with their desire to help businesses succeed by providing us a Covid free environment!

2. What was the why, for your wanting to work with them?

‍
I have been looking for a way to take the politics out of this pandemic and find a fast, easy, reliable, cost-effective and immediately available product that could produce a COVID free zone for employee’s and guests. Entry (Point of Care) Rapid Antigen Test distributed by iCaretests.com provides that Covid free zone.

3. How do you see having rapid antigen testing help future proof LIVING a normal life-like going to concerts, movies, esports events, etc?

I want to go back to my favorite places…I want to live again…without hesitation! Plus when I go into a theater or live event or restaurant or travel on a plane I want to know that everyone in the area is not contagious! As we know a vaccinated person can be contagious as well as a non-vaccinated person. Just like 9/11 changed air travel overnight…would it not be great to be able to arrive 15 - 20 minutes before an event and take this fast, easy test and in 15 minutes know you are not contagious. Wow - what relief for the guest, the employee’s and the business!  (Note -data shows we are contagious for 5 - 7 days; plus see Dr. Michael Mina  - https://Youtu.be/Ee12vVhvK20) Antigen testing, like screening at the airport, should become second nature and we hopefully can avoid future lock downs that disrupts our lives and our businesses.

4. How can someone purchase this program or the product?
