The Alameda County Public Health Dept. is investigating complaints against a COVID test site in Oakland officials say is raising red flags.
Using an over-the-counter antigen test to find out if you have COVID-19 is helpful, if you use it correctly and repeatedly.
"Some of the common complaints we're getting right now is that it's a one-person operation, it's unmarked, it's unclear whether equipment and supplies are being managed the way they should be," said Kapila."Then not really knowing who's behind it."is advertised at the site. Predicine told the I-Team this site is run by one of their contractors Red Shelf - a company that collects COVID tests and receives a payment for each test processed.
The I-Team reached out to Red Shelf for further comment last Friday and again this week but didn't get a response."Predicine provides COVID-19 collection and testing services either directly or through our qualified contractors. Predicine provides comprehensive standard operating procedures for each step of the testing process to maintain quality and consistency.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said unauthorized or non-compliant test sites are becoming a statewide problem. The I-Team asked Bonta about the refusal to give out the CLIA certification at the Oakland test site.
