New affordable '20test' COVID-19 test kit could provide taxi drivers with rapid peace of mind
Driver Bubble, a global supplier of taxi and private hire partition screens, today announced the Europe-wide launch of an affordable, CE certified, rapid antigen home test kit that could provide rapid peace of mind to cabbies and workers during the pandemic.
The 20test provides 96.9% accurate test results within 15 minutes. It is being pitched as one of the quickest, most affordable and most reliable rapid antigen tests for COVID-19. According to the firm the rapid antigen test correctly identifies 92.0% of people with COVID-19 and 99.26% without COVID-19.
The kit contains a testing card, a sterile disposable swab, a sample treatment solution and a simple, self-explanatory guide. 20test is offering free shipping on orders above five kits directly on their online store.
Steven Blom, co-founder of Driver Bubble, said: "At Driver Bubble, we are continuously working towards making the world a healthier and safer place. Since April 2020, we have been helping to protect hundreds of thousands of lives across the globe and provide peace of mind to thousands of transportation businesses and their passengers.”
“We believe that each individual plays a vital role to help slow down the spread of the virus, and with the launch of 20test we aim to make testing for COVID-19 easier, affordable and more accessible to everyone,” he added.
Unlike many COVID-19 tests, this rapid antigen test is said to be painless. There is no need to insert the swab too deep into the nasal cavity. This can increase the likelihood of people testing more regularly.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the team behind Driver Bubble, and now 20test, say they have been the front-runner in addressing the key industry challenges, continually helping to protect people in the transport industry and community. The team founded Driver Bubble last year, to address the challenges faced by the transportation industry due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Thomas Kruyne, Global Director of Driver Bubble, adds: “We are so pleased to see the impact that we have been making across the transportation industry with our vehicle partition screens, and we believe that 20test can further help the industry and its community to get through this economic and health crisis.”
In the past days, 20test has been rolling out rapid antigen test kits in multiple markets and industries across Europe. They say businesses in the transportation, film production and health care industries have been, and will continue to be able to test their employees quickly, affordably and effectively.
