Limited Access Leaves Customers Concerned


In response to recent changes in government policy causing challenges in obtaining free rapid test kits, PPE Supply Canada has emerged as a key player, offering accessible and affordable rapid test kits crucial for daily health practices amid the rise of new COVID-19 variants. At the same time, health authorities are closely monitoring the EG.5 variant, projected to be dominant in the U.S., and the highly mutated BA.2.86 variant, with the BC Centre for Disease Control identifying Canada’s first case of this rapidly circulating Omicron strain. Amid these developments, PPE Supply Canada ensures same-day fulfillment in the Greater Toronto Area and swift shipping across Canada and the U.S., offering BTNX and Lucira Health rapid test kits. Their commitment to community well-being shines through by empowering individuals, families, and businesses to proactively ensure health and safety.

TORONTO, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the wake of recent shifts in government policy regarding the distribution of free rapid test kits, acquiring them has become a cumbersome task for most families, individuals, and businesses. Addressing this challenge head-on, PPE Supply Canada emerges as the leading retailer committed to providing fast access to affordable rapid test kits, a tool that has become essential in our daily health and safety practices, especially with new COVID-19 variants on the rise around the globe.

While PPE Supply Canada strives to keep our communities safe, health authorities are diligently monitoring the emergence and spread of three new COVID-19 variants, with the EG.5 variant taking center stage. It is projected to be the prevalent strain in the U.S. due to its prominence in the proportion of new COVID-19 cases in comparison to other variants. According to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, EG.5 now constitutes over 20% of all U.S. COVID-19 cases. Additionally, hospitalizations are on the rise, with the latest figures from August 19 revealing a 19% week-on-week increase, reporting 15,067 new COVID-19 hospitalizations. The World Health Organization has classified the EG.5 strain as a “variant of interest”.

Simultaneously, health authorities are closely monitoring a newly emerged, highly mutated variant named BA.2.86. While BA.2.86’s prevalence has yet to reach a level discernible within the CDC’s estimates, it is currently being grouped together with its distant precursor, BA.2. Meanwhile, the BC Centre for Disease Control has identified Canada’s first case of this rapidly circulating variant of the Omicron strain, only increasing the need for test kits across all households in North America, as the more communities are able to stay on top of their health status, the more controllable the spread will be.

In the midst of these recent COVID-19 developments, PPE Supply Canada stands as the primary source for those in search of quick access to rapid antigen test kits, ensuring that all orders are fulfilled the same business day they are placed. Recognizing the urgency of the matter, and that customers may need to test themselves or their loved ones as soon as possible, the company proudly offers same-day delivery services within the Greater Toronto Area. Customers can place their orders by 11:00 AM and receive their test kits that same evening.

For all customers outside of this region, even those in rural locations, PPE Supply Canada offers fast, affordable shipping options that get rapid test kits to the customer as soon as the next day from when the order is placed. The company caters to anywhere in Canada and the U.S. and has united with the world’s most trusted and reliable shipping partners.

Adding another layer of convenience, PPE Supply Canada is also available on the Uber Eats Canada platform, granting local customers the ability to get their rapid test kits with the same ease as ordering a meal.

PPE Supply Canada offers rapid test kits from the industry’s most reputable brands, BTNX and Lucira Health, ensuring unbeatable accuracy, confidence and ease of use for all customers.

The company’s rapid test product lineup includes the BTNX Rapid Antigen Test Kit, as well as the highly-regarded and sought-after Lucira Health COVID-19 Check-It molecular test. Their commitment to the health of our communities extends further, as they also offer the Lucira Health COVID-19 & Flu test, an innovative tool that helps to distinguish between the two illnesses with unbeatable efficiency, ensuring that the individual treats their symptoms accordingly.

At the heart of PPE Supply Canada’s mission lies an unwavering dedication to the well-being of the community. By bridging the gap left by government changes, the retailer strives to empower individuals, families, and businesses to take proactive measures to ensure the health and safety of all.

Three-Peat! iSupport Worldwide Ranks in Inc. 5000 a 3rd Consecutive Time


For the third year running, iSupport Worldwide has been named to Inc. business magazines’ prestigious list of 5000 of the United States fastest growing companies

CARSON CITY, Nev., Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The American business magazine Inc. recently released the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing US companies for 2023.

The Inc. 5000 list ranks privately owned for-profit companies based on their overall revenue growth over the course of three years. This year’s Inc.5000 companies had a total revenue of $358.2 billion and generated 1,186,006 new jobs.

The company focuses on helping companies find, hire, and retain world-class high-performance talent while generating profitable revenue, increasing quality, and reducing costs.

In a constantly evolving business environment marked by successive global challenges lies a significant potential for companies aiming to expand. However, achieving growth appears increasingly when widespread employee layoffs, drastic cost reduction strategies, and operational interruptions caused by health and safety regulations are widespread.

iSupport Worldwide’s resolute commitment to assisting clients in overcoming these hurdles and prospering in their midst has laid the groundwork that enabled the company to maintain its rapid growth. This contributed to its inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

  • Reducing labor and operating costs
  • Giving clients to access a huge talent pool of specific capabilities
  • Securing technologies and facilities that would be difficult or expensive to pursue directly
  • Providing businesses the ability to scale up on an affordable budget

Although these factors are necessities, iSupport Worldwide’s core values revolve around exceeding its client’s expectations. To ensure customer satisfaction, iSupport modifies its offshore techniques based on the unique needs of each client and their plans for long-term growth.

If your business needs expertise for in-demand roles that are critical to your operations, this three-time Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies 2023 honoree can scout, hire, and train your offshore workforce. You can discover more about iSupport’s comprehensive learning programs and other value-added services on their website.

In its previous year’s application for a third consecutive year on the distinguished list, iSupport Worldwide cited a dedication to quality and a passion for unlocking success as important motivations.

Another critical factor that proved beneficial in keeping current clients delighted and additional potential clients involved during difficult circumstances was adaptability.

The efforts of iSupport Worldwide to adapt to problems and keep up with trends continue to satisfy its clients, resulting in them altering business plans to make offshoring what it should always be: a long-term solution for quick growth and expansion.

Adaptability is one of the fundamental reasons iSupport Worldwide was able to maintain its position on the coveted Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies in 2023. Staying on top of trends, delighting clients, and adapting to business landscape changes help the 16-year-old corporation have another successful year.

iSupport Worldwide Continues to Serve

Courtney Bissett, Chief Executive Officer of iSupport Worldwide, is honored to be a part of this exclusive business community of recognized companies in America. While this is a big accomplishment, Courtney says it does not end there. The award will not deter the offshoring solutions provider from adapting, developing, and working hard to give high-quality services to organizations looking to expand.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 list for a third consecutive time is a wonderful honor and an absolute dream come true. For the third time, I am incredibly proud to reiterate my deep appreciation of our incredible team members and our amazing clients who put us on this list.
