As the number of COVID-19 infections continues to drop, serious questions remain about the pop-up testing sites that cropped up during the pandemic. Should the industry be regulated? Many say “yes.”
Rasmussen said he feared for himself, and the patients of his practice of 16 years, as the testing center brought overcrowding, possible contamination and no social distancing.
“I was really shocked,” Rasmussen said when NBC 5 Responds visited him recently, adding he feels it was retaliation from the building’s owners. “I no longer have any trust and even if they were to tell me, ‘We’re going to rescind your leaving,’ I wouldn’t feel comfortable staying,” Rasmussen said. “I’ve never had any relationship with Center for COVID Control,” Ali said. “Our employees, they understand the risks of working in this type of business… We have provided them with all the necessary equipment, all the necessary resources, so they can continue to serve people and be as safe as possible.”
The owner of Med Rush Clinical Lab, Ali Parekh, and the lab's managing director Omer Razvi also confirmed to NBC 5 these safety measures in place.
