Toronto, ON (December 10, 2020) – LifeLabs is pleased to share that it has been selected as the medical laboratory partner of choice for Santa’s Workshop located in the North Pole.
While it is strongly suspected that Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the reindeers are immune from COVID-19, LifeLabs will be testing Santa’s helpers and the elves to ensure their critical work can continue to be done safely and on time with the support of its COVID-19 testing and surveillance program.
“As Canada’s largest medical diagnostics company and the closest large laboratory provider to the North Pole, LifeLabs is proud to partner with Santa’s Workshop to ensure that the workshop is able to run safely during the pandemic,” says Charles Brown, President & CEO of LifeLabs. “We are confident that Santa Claus and his flight crew will be deemed an essential service into the holiday season so that millions of children around the world will be able to enjoy the Christmas season; we are delighted to do our part so that Christmas is not cancelled for kids.”
