TORONTO, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuestCap Inc. (“QuestCap” or the “Company”) (CSE:QSC; FRA:34C1) is pleased to announce the use of Glenco Medical Corp.’s (“Glenco”) Standard for Safe Sets (the “Standard”) by Pilgrim Media Group, a Lionsgate company based in North Hollywood, CA during filming of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week special with Mike Tyson which airs starting on Sunday, August 9th at 8 pm ET on the Discovery Channel in the US.

The Standard was adopted from standards and protocols originally developed for the professional and amateur sport’s industries entitled “The Standard for Safe Sports™” prepared by Glenco. The Standard for Safe Sets is compliant with, and aligned to, the film industry’s guidelines “The Safe Way Forward” published and released in June 2020.

With no end in sight for the global pandemic, world industries are just starting to restart their engines for business and commerce. “I am very active in the world of media, film and production,” said Mr. Mike Tyson, the former Heavyweight boxing champion of the world. “Entering a set today for me is a risk to me and my family, one I confidently accept with the inclusion of Glenco’s standard - a standard I know and trust,” concluded Mr. Tyson.

“We were very pleased to have the protocols developed by Glenco adopted by Pilgrim Media,” stated Dr. Glenn Copeland, the CEO of Glenco and Scientific Advisor to QuestCap Inc. “It is crucial to adopt in-depth screening processes including several layers designed to assist with protocols of testing, disinfecting, reporting and responding. Our team works tirelessly to constantly develop and adapt to various industries based on strict medical and scientific data” concludes Dr. Copeland.
