Federal inspectors allege Covid testing firm didn't put patients' names on specimens

Federal documents obtained by NBC News allege that a Covid testing company with 300 pop-up locations nationwide and its associated lab lacked adequate refrigeration and failed to put patients’ names on specimens or report test results to state officials.

The Chicago-based company, Center for Covid Control, is already under investigation by multiple states and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS. The attorney general of Minnesota sued the company Wednesday alleging that it “either failed to deliver test results, or delivered test results that were falsified or inaccurate.”

Previous businesses of CEO Aleya Siyaj, 29, and her husband, Ali Syed, include an ax-throwing lounge and a donut shop.

The company, which has collected more than 400,000 samples nationwide, voluntarily shut down last week amid complaints about its business practices. A company spokesperson, however, said the company planned to start reopening its pop-up locations this weekend.
