After she didn't hear back for several days, Weber said she began posting complaints on the site's social media pages, which she believes prompted the testing site to email her results, which were sent from "results@dcltesting.com." While the result from the Center for COVID Control was negative, the result she received from the second test that day was positive, Weber said.
"I felt like they just sent the negative results," Weber said. "I got upset and worried thinking they’re gonna kill somebody if they keep sending out these false negatives."
Weber said she reported the testing site to local officials and was later contacted by an investigator for the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, who informed her that she was not the first to report issues with the testing site. The office did not immediately respond to USA TODAY request for comment.
USA TODAY attempted to contact the Center for COVID Control via the main phone line listed on its website over the course of three days and was given over an hour wait each time. USA TODAY also called an additional phone line listed for the company in public records but was unable to leave a voicemail.
The company's principal and mailing address is the same Rolling Meadows address, a one-story commercial office building about 15 miles northwest of O'Hare International Airport.
The manager of the Center for COVID Control is Aleya Siyaj of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, according to the Florida and Illinois Secretaries of State. In Florida, the company’s registered agent is Fawzia Safdari of Davie, Florida. Siyaj and Safdari did not respond to USA TODAY voicemails or email request for comment.
