Salt Lake City, Utah – August 7, 2020 – Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CODX) (the Company), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of diagnostic tests, announced today that Australia has been added to the list of countries that have authorized the Logix Smart™ COVID-19 for use in detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Australia joins the United States, India, Mexico, the European Community and others as a region where the Company’s test can be sold and used as a coronavirus in vitro diagnostic (IVD). The Australian Government Register of Therapeutic Goods Certificate was recently issued to the Company’s distributor in Australia, approving the distributor to supply the Class 3 IVD to the Australian market.

The news follows recent reports of a soaring coronavirus outbreak in Melbourne, prompting the state of Victoria to declare a “state of disaster” and to strengthen lockdown measures.

The CE-marked and FDA EUA Co-Diagnostics Logix Smart COVID-19 test is currently available to all clinical laboratories certified under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), and is authorized to be used for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the US and many other countries.
