Fake Coronavirus Test Kits Seized At O'Hare
On Wednesday, Customs and Border Patrol officers intercepted shipments containing "test kits" for a variety of viruses, including COVID-19.
CHICAGO (CBS) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at O’Hare International Airport earlier this week seized packages containing prohibited medical drug kits from the United Kingdom. On Wednesday, CBP officers intercepted shipments containing “test kits” for a variety of viruses that claimed to include COVID-1.
Not all of the coronavirus tests were in each parcel, and most of the kits usually had just one COVID-19 test kit within groups of other kits that purported to test for “meningitis, IVF, MRSA, onion, apple, salmonella and others.”
