As Covid-19 infections surge in Hawaii and elsewhere, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reached out to Oceanit about the availability of the Hawaii-developed ASSURE-100 Rapid Test. In a June 18th article, reporter Nina Wu spoke with Oceanit’s director of marketing, Jay Andrews, about the recent listing of ASSURE-100 rapid tests on Amazon.com.
As of June 21st, Hawaii registered its highest hospital case loads since the summer of 2022, as indicated by both Emergency Department-diagnosed Covid cases and recorded Covid levels in wastewater. The previous week, the state Department of Health urged the public to be vigilant amid high levels of Covid-19 in Hawaii.
Oceanit’s ASSURE-100 over the counter tests were made available on Amazon.com in late March. As Covid infections have increased in the past week, demand for rapid tests have skyrocketed and Oceanit’s test inventory on Amazon.com quickly sold out. However, the ASSURE-100 rapid tests are still available via Oceanit’s Shopify site in the standard 2-pack or family 6-packs.
You can purchase ASSURE-100 rapid tests by visiting https://assure-100-health.myshopify.com/
