HealthLynked Updates its Covid-19 Tracker Application to Include Omicron Variant Cases

NAPLES, FL, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK) a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connect doctors, patients, and medical data, today announced the launch of its updated COVID-19 Tracker Application (App) to include confirmed cases of the Omicron variant as reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The HealthLynked COVID-19 Tracker Application was first released on the Apple App Store in March 2020 at the height of the pandemic. The updated App will now include confirmed cases of the Omicron variant as reported by the CDC and local state health departments, while continuing to track COVID-19 cases and global statistics. Other features of the App will remain in place, including, real-time chat and updates from the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO).
Dr. Michael Dent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The updated COVID-19 Tracker App is essential now that the Omicron variant is spreading more rapidly than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Delta variant. Concerns about children returning to schools, the evolving guidelines for vaccines for children and vaccine boosters make this update even more important to educate our users about new cases so that they are better informed to make decisions to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
