Sketchy firm's COVID-test sites shut down as questions mount
EVERETT — A popular downtown Everett coronavirus testing site and hundreds of others nationwide will temporarily shut down as the legitimacy of the company running them, the Center for COVID Control, has been called into question.
Everett spokesperson Julio Cortes said the testing site at 2606 Wetmore Ave. had been allowed to open before a business license was approved “due to the current health crisis and high demand for testing.”
Residents have been flocking to the site amid skyrocketing COVID cases and other testing sites being stretched thin. This month bumper-to-bumper traffic clogged north Everett as people waited in line to get tested on Wetmore.
A Lynnwood city spokesperson Thursday did not have an update on another Center for COVID Control site operating there.
