DroneUp announced a new pilot program in collaboration with Walmart and Quest Diagnostics (a clinical laboratory) to deliver Covid-19 at-home self-collection kits in El Paso, Texas.

The company’s drones will deliver the kits to single-family homes from the El Paso Walmart Supercenter, covering a 1.5-mile radius, upon request through its designated website “GetDroneTest.com.”

In September 2020, DroneUp first announced the pilot program together with Walmart and Quest Diagnostics to deliver the kits in northern Las Vegas, which later expanded to include Cheektowaga, New York, in October. 

DroneUp provides drone solutions for multiple purposes, including aerial data collection and processing, data delivery and analysis, training, program integration, FAA-compliant consulting services, pilot flight services, and the sale of equipment to commercial and public sector buyers.
