A Victory Square Technologies’ (VST) portfolio company has been approved by The Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency to begin distributing its COVID-19 rapid tests.

Its portfolio company, Victory Square Health received approval for the Safetest 15 Minute Covid-19™ Rapid Test. These tests have a 96.6 per cent sensitivity and can confirm whether a person is currently infected with the COVID-19 virus or whether they were previously infected and unaware of it.
