Company official blames problems on technical glitches and lazy employees.
Five weeks later, Dave and Marge Randall are still waiting — and wondering if the whole thing was nothing more than an attempt to get their personal information.
For the past several weeks, an entity named Allyhealth.us has been offering free tests in two Tucson-area parking lots — one at Grant and North Stone roads, the other at North Oracle and East Magee roads in Oro Valley where the Randalls were tested Jan. 20. The problems have been rectified, and the company plans to continue operating in the Tucson area, he said.
But her throat was feeling scratchy the day the couple noticed balloons flying at a free testing site under a blue pop-up canopy in a parking lot North Oracle Road. And fears were high about omicron, the coronavirus variant said to be extremely contagious.Marge Randall said she and her husband were promised test results in"three or four days." When they didn't arrive she repeatedly called the phone number listed on a flyer from the test site, but no one picked up.
Another entity called the Center for COVID Control, which ran a pop-up site on East Speedway near North Kolb Road late last year, is part of an Illinois-based chain under FBI investigation, USA Today recently reported.The attorneys general of two states, Minnesota and Washington have filed lawsuits alleging the firm is a"sham" operation that contributed to the spread of COVID-19 by providing false test results or no results at all.
