HealthSpace Announces COVID-19 Contact Tracing Contract with Walla Walla, Washington

VANCOUVER, BC, July 28, 2020 /CNW/ - HealthSpace Data Systems Ltd. (the "Company" or "HealthSpace") (CSE: HS) (Frankfurt: 38H) (OTC: HDSLF) is pleased to announce it has finalized a contract with Walla Walla, Washington for the use of HSCloud for COVID-19 case management and contact tracing. The total value of the contract is worth $79,500 over the next five years.

HealthSpace CEO, Silas Garrison noted "We are pleased that in such a turbulent time, we can continue to provide a platform that benefits these agencies and the communities they serve. HSCloud is now utilized daily by over a dozen agencies to track COVID-19 cases across communities with millions of people.   The profound effect and benefit contact tracing itself can provide, coupled with our ability to bolster it, really is an exciting and humbling thing. The more we empower these government agencies to be efficient, the better they can protect the people and communities they work tirelessly to serve."
