With greater COVID-19 testing come test results that are sometimes delayed and even inaccurate.
As the Omicron variant spreads in Illinois, demand for testing is soaring, too. But with greater testing come test results that are sometimes delayed and even inaccurate.
Before taking a trip to see her elderly parents, Vanderlaan said she was excited to find same-day COVID testing appointments for her whole family at a nearby clinic. That was until she got an email. Vanderlaan wasn’t scheduled to test for another 30 minutes. Confused and concerned, she called the Holy Family Medical Clinic in Berwyn for an explanation.
Sunday, the clinic manager turned down an interview but said what happened with Vanderlaan was simply due to human error — an employee likely mislabeling a test sample — and, to his knowledge, had never happened before. Vanderlaan said she did receive a call from the clinic manager Sunday, but only after CBS 2 got involved.
