A Scottsdale-based national telehealth provider says businesses looking to bring employees back to the workplace can benefit from a newly developed at-home Covid-19 test.

MeMD partnered with health platform 1Health.io, which developed the at-home saliva test, to enable businesses to order tests for employees who experience Covid-19-like symptoms.
