ABOUT ABBOTT
The NAVICA™ app is your pass to navigating daily life in a new normal. NAVICA displays results from the 15-minute Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card, a rapid antigen test, to help you and others make informed decisions.
Organizations will be able to view and verify a person's digital NAVICA Pass on their mobile device to facilitate smoother entry into facilities along with handwashing, social distancing, enhanced cleaning and mask-wearing.
