The Lawhill Maritime Centre at Simon’s Town School accommodates 57 Grade 10-12 maritime students drawn from communities across South Africa and Namibia. Because of the high risk of infection in a boarding environment, it was important to know the COVID-19 status of all our students as the vast majority were travelling from areas deemed as ‘’high risk’’ and many lived in homes and communities where it was difficult to comply with social distancing and other COVID-19 safety protocols. The bulk of the testing (52 tests) were done on site at our hostel by BioSmart and we could not have asked for a more professional and caring team to administer these tests. Our sincere thanks to Dr Jenny Leslie and her team for all the assistance provided.”

After a potential COVID exposure, I needed to be tested quickly, firstly to resume work and secondly to protect my loved ones. Biotech Africa has a mobile test facility at the end of Kendal Road and I chose to be tested there. Upon arrival I was immediately impressed by the staff assisting people, white lab coats and a sense of "don't worry, we've got this" and the willingness to get you attended to quickly, albeit working on a Sunday. I had some technical issues with my phone and managed to make some payment errors. The staff were incredibly patient with me and helped every step of the way. With these errors of mine I managed to double pay, only to find out when I arrived home. One email and this problem was solved. If you find yourself in this situation, get hold of Biotech Africa, every step was professional and really hassle free.
