As NHL teams prepare for the start of the upcoming season, Citizen Care Pod Corp. (CCP) announced today that they will provide rapid testing and screening solutions for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club in an effort to establish a safe bubble for its players, coaches, trainers and team officials.

CCP, powered by Connectus Global, utilizes a mobile app and blockchain technology to connect COVID-19 test results to team officials and medical staff, local healthcare authorities, physicians, and building/venue operators to facilitate a safe environment for participants. The CCP App validates compliance to organizational policies for minimizing health risks, as well as documents and logs all medical testing.

"We capture a number of data points to compile a 'Player Health Record', or PHR, that is used to streamline reporting to all required parties in real time," said Mike Anderson, CEO Connectus Global Inc. "The PHR is then encrypted as a digital token on each user's own smartphone and used to assess exposure and risk." Connectus Global is the official global technology provider to CCP for contact tracing, digital health certificates, real time locations systems and digital enablement.

CCP has already started providing on-site PCR tests to players and team officials who have begun workouts at Bell MTS Iceplex. The testing produces results within 90 minutes and complies with the NHL's 24-hour reporting program. The plan is to continue testing on a daily basis over the next 22 weeks through to the end of the regular season.

"We're thrilled to be working with the Winnipeg Jets to help facilitate a safe return to on-ice play," said Carl Demarco, CEO, Citizen Care Pod Corp. "We developed Citizen Care Pod as a global solution to get people back to work, school, travel, conferences, concerts and sporting events. Everything about our solution is designed to deliver a scalable and optimized system for conducting COVID-19 testing and screening."

 CCPs are available in a range of sizes and custom fabrications, with the largest pods capable of processing thousands of people per hour. The addition of Blockchain technology allows for the further administration of COVID-19 test data securely between key stakeholders.
