TORONTO, ON and RICHMOND, VA / ACCESSWIRE / December 6, 2021 / StageZero Life Sciences, Ltd. (TSX:SZLS) ("StageZero" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated healthcare company devoted to improving the early detection and management of cancer and other chronic diseases through leading-edge molecular diagnostics and clinical interventions, today announced its BORDERPASS™ COVID-19 RT-PCR saliva test kits are available for purchase at more than 400 Sobeys Inc. pharmacy banners across Canada, including Lawtons, Safeway and Sobeys.

StageZero has been a leader in COVID-19 diagnostics since the early days of the pandemic, offering COVID-19 tests since April 2020. Announced in November 2021, BORDERPASS™ is the company's latest innovation in testing. The BORDERPASS™ RT-PCR saliva test kit makes it easy and convenient for travelers to take their COVID PCR test without scrambling to find a PCR clinic when they are on the road. The easy-to-use test kit allows travelers to self-collect their COVID PCR saliva sample from the comfort of their home, office, or hotel room under video supervision of a healthcare professional using Ichor Blood Services' video conferencing capabilities. Travelers simply ship their sample to the StageZero laboratory via provided FedEx packaging and they receive test results via email within 24 hours of their sample arriving at the lab. BORDERPASS™ PCR test results are accepted at Canadian, U.S., and most international borders.

As part of the Company's broader Global Growth Strategy, StageZero continues to grow its strategic corporate relationships through specialized partnerships and its BORDERPASS™ offering.

"With the holidays upon us, many people are planning trips to see family and enjoy time off in international destinations," said James Howard-Tripp, Chairman and CEO of StageZero Life Sciences. "We are very pleased to have BORDERPASS™ test kits conveniently available in Lawtons, Safeway and Sobeys pharmacies across Canada. With BORDERPASS™, we are providing travelers with the convenience of not having to search for a clinic and the peace of mind knowing that their PCR test results will be accepted at the border."

"We think of Sobeys as a family nurturing families. That purpose has become more important than ever during the pandemic, and underlies our efforts around COVID-19 safety and wellbeing," said Marie-Claude Vézina, VP and General Manager Pharmacy, at Sobeys Inc. "Over the past year we've played a leading role in delivering COVID-19 vaccines in our national pharmacy network in Canada.
