Amazon (AMZN +2.3%) will pick up
the test kits in partnership with the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment
Network, a research effort studying how the virus is spreading through
demographic groups to help predict its progression.
Amazon Care will deliver and pick up the self-swab
kits to participants in Seattle’s King County. If the test comes back
positive, a healthcare worker contacts the patient.
The company says the couriers have been trained in handling medical materials.
Amazon Care launched last month as a virtual health clinic for employees and dependents in Seattle.
Care was the latest move in Amazon’s healthcare
push, which also included the $753M acquisition of online pharmacy
PillPack in 2018.
