Canada-based Datametrex AI Limited, a data firm with interests in health sector, has started providing COVID-19 test kit for the Air Canada staff.

The polymerise chain reaction (PCR) tests are being used on the airline’s front-line and inflight employees who directly interact the travelers, such as flight attendants and pilots, said the company in a release on Monday.

Air Canada had announced its COVID testing arrangement with Datametrex (on as-needed basis) in a tweet on November 22, 2020.

Datametrex has supplied thousands of PCR test kits to organizations and employees in the last seven months to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, said the company’s CEO Marshall Gunter.

Datametrex, currently trading at C$ 0.18, has a market cap of C$ 48 million. It operates in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning via its subsidiary Nexalogy.

The firm launched Concierge Covid-19 testing service for travelers in Toronto and Vancouver last week. This service allows individuals to test for COVID from the comfort of their personal location or homes.

Datametrex also acquired Concierge Medical Consultant Inc. last week. The deal will come into effect from January 20, 2021.

Datametrex stocks are among the most active stocks on the TSXV, recording an average of over 5 million share volume trading in the last 10 days.
