A Rolling Meadows-based operator of some 300 “pop-up” COVID testing sites across the U.S. will shut down amid a flurry of complaints from customers and scrutiny from authorities in multiple states, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced.

The Center for COVID Control, which incorporated in 2020 according to state records, has voluntarily suspended operations, according to a news release from Raoul’s office issued late Thursday.
