Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2020) -  Relay Medical Corp. (CSE: RELA) (OTCQB: RYMDF) (FSE: EIY2) ("Relay" or the "Company") and Fio Corporation ("Fio"), together Fionet Rapid Response Group ("FRR"), report on an agreement with King Heights Academy and Paramount Ice in the Greater Toronto Area to bring the Fionet COVID-19 mobile testing and tracking platform to their facilities for pilot deployments.

King Heights Academy has engaged FRR to assist in providing technologies, services and protocols for safer attendance and participation in school curriculum at their campuses. Paramount Ice is proactively pursuing potential solutions for improving protocols for safer attendance and participation in activities at their Hockey rink locations in the GTA. FRR will work with the two partners to first establish pilot demonstrations of an FRR solution at their facilities and then for full deployment.

The Fionet system combined with approved lateral flow rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) offers a complete COVID-19 community screening and surveillance solution that can effectively test 20-40 people per hour with lab-based equivalency. The system can be deployed to increase the confidence and safety of citizens at home, work and recreation during the COVID-19 pandemic by organizing and executing rapid diagnostic testing in community-based settings as part of surveillance and screening testing programs.

"We're excited to work with Fio and Relay to help provide COVID-19 screening at our schools and hockey rinks using the Fionet platform. Pre-COVID we saw a half a million visitors a year and now we are at a fraction of that level. We want to be proactive and do everything we can to keep our students, employees, members, trainees and guests safe so that everyone can get back to a semblance of normal life, and this requires more testing," said Dave Yarmus, Director and Partner.

"These deployments, we believe, will really showcase the great benefits Fionet offers for distributed community-based testing and tracking to help open up businesses. We are excited to work together with King Heights Academy and Paramount Ice to bring onsite testing as soon as possible to their Toronto locations," said Dr. Michael Greenberg, CEO of Fionet Rapid Response Group.

The pilot engagements include four deployment zones for mobile screening and tracking of COVID-19. FRR will develop protocols and workflows as a guide with the Clients being able to modify the protocols based on their own input from Clinical experts and local health authorities. FRR's deployment will comply with all local, provincial, and federal requirements in coordination with public health directives. Implementation and timing will depend on the accessibility of RDTs by government authorities and all necessary approvals.

Home, Work, Play

In the fight against COVID-19, mass community-based testing is needed to facilitate a safe return to work, school and everyday life. With Fionet, it is possible to dramatically scale up COVID-19 testing into community-based settings including workplaces, schools and public places to help prevent the spread of the virus. This life-changing technology helps to reopen the economies and schools with confidence, and ultimately save both lives and livelihoods.

FRR is also in negotiation with several other leading healthcare organizations around the world to pilot and/or deploy Fionet to support rapid testing programs for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
