ROCHESTER, Minn. – A pop-up CoVid testing site locked its doors, apparently going of business, after being sued for fraud by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. The company, calling itself the Center for CoVid Control, operated from a barebones storefront at Northgate shopping center. Nationwide it had operated 275 Northgate-like sites. Ellison acted on complaints that walk-in customers were told that results would be e-mailed within three hours but never came. Some customers said that after giving their personal insurance information, they were told to swab their noses themselves. “Unprofessional,” said one of them. Ellison said that action is being taken against two companies — Center for CoVid Control of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and Doctors Clinical Laboratory, also of Rolling Meadows. The companies, Ellison said, collected samples from Minnesotans and failed to deliver results as promised.
