We are confident in the market potential for our COVID products, as well as the resilience of our other business segments as demonstrated by the strong first quarter performance of our commercial genomics, microbiome, and domestic HIV testing business. Given the overall strong financial performance of our business, the EUA applications pending before the FDA and our solid financial foundation, we are confident that OraSure is well positioned for continued success.”
