LetsGetChecked At-Home Health Testing Reopen with healthy employees and help avoid unecessary closures. LetsGetChecked, an FDA-authorized at-home COVID-19 test, is now available to SCRLA members at a discount. The Coronavirus Test (COVID-19) requires a gentle lower nasal swab to be collected by you at home. The test-kit comes with a UPS next day air return shipping label to send your sample back to the lab. Your sample is analyzed in the lab using an extremely accurate RT-PCR based test to confirm the presence of coronavirus (COVID-19). LetsGetChecked aims to deliver your result within 24-72 hours of your sample being received in the laboratory.

Enviro Shield was started by a group of restaurateurs after they had a hard time sourcing PPE for their own chain of restaurants when they started planning for the reopening of our restaurants. PPE 4 Restaurants is a PPE supply company whose primary focus is to make items, such as masks, and gloves, available to the restaurant industry.

How it works: 1. Order your kit online: Complete the online assesment in a matter of minutes. If eligible, your test-kit will be shipped to your home free of charge from their FDA registered manufacturing facility. They will provide you with an automatic itemized receipt of your order, which can be used for reimbursement purposes from your health insurance provider or health coverage plan. 2. Gentle and non-invasive sample collection: Self-collect your sample from home following the instructions provided. This is an easy to follow and gentle process, no different to using a cotton swab to clean the inside of your nose. 3. Real-time test tracking: The test includes a free express UPS shipping service to deliver the sample to the laboratory for processing. You will receive notifications by SMS and email to keep you informed throughout the entire process. 4. Labratory PCR Test: Your swab sample will be sent to our high complexity CLIA-certified laboratory for full analysis by our team of clinical scientists. This can confirm the presence of coronavirus, with results typically available within 24-72 hours of arriving in the lab. This test will not indicate immunity or detect antibodies. 5. Results: They aim to deliver your results to your secure online account within 24-72 hours after lab receipt. Due to the current global circumstances, minor delays may occur in some cases. They are making every effort to ensure that results are delivered on time. An official lab report will be made available to you, to serve as proof of your result.
