LatamList – Dozens of companies ranging from healthcare to logistics and payments have come together to create the “#2in2” movement in Brazil. The initiative aims to increase COVID-19 testing which still remains low in the country.
As a result, each company has donated funds and resources based on their field of expertise. The group includes Rappi, Loggi, Vitta, Cia Da Consulta, Iguatemi, Mattos Filho, XP Investimentos, QR Consulting, Orbitae, Sic Works, and Renovatio.
Thousands of antibody tests are now available on the Rappi delivery app for a cost of $45 (R$251). Also, customers can choose to donate a test at the time of purchase.
