TORONTO, CANADA - December 9, 2021- Datametrex AI Limited (the "Company" or "Datametrex") (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to announce that the 1copy(TM) COVID-19 qPCR Multi Kit ("qPCR kit") which Company has the rights to sell can detect the Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant. The Omicron mutations do not affect the performance of the qPCR kit. Covid-19 testing and early detection and vaccines continue to offer protection against hospitalization and death and continue to play a critical role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The company continues to work with our suppliers to provide a reliable and safe product that our consumers can rely on. With the new mutations of the COVID-19 virus being discovered worldwide including the new highly contagious Omicron variant, management feels that persistent COVID-19 testing will be necessary for the near future as part of the answer to keep people secure and healthy," said Andrew Ryu, Chairman of the Company.

Also, the qPCR kit can detect COVID-19 regardless of the existence of SARS-CoV-2 variants and include the following variants:

- UK variant (Alpha B.1.17)

- South Africa variant (Beta P.1.351)

- Brazil variant (Gamma P.1)

- India variant (Delta B.1.617.2)

- Columbia variant ( Mu B.1.621)

The qPCR kit is a nucleic test kit providing results in less than two hours and is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic ("IVD") device test for simultaneous detection of RdRp, N, and E genes of SARS-CoV-2 via a nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swab. The kits are manufactured by 1drop Inc. ("1drop") in South Korea.
