Back on May 7th, FTVLive told you that a report by CBS News had come under fire after it was reported that people were staged to make a COVID-19 testing site look busier.

Yes, it was staged, but it does not appear to be CBS’s fault.

IN a release, Cherry Health CEO Tasha Blackmon acknowledged mistakes were made in the CBS story of people in cars waiting for coronavirus testing at the center in Grand Rapids.

“After conducting an internal investigation, we learned that a few staff were encouraged to pull their cars up in the testing line to provide a visual backdrop showing how busy the testing site can get. This was done with the intention of protecting patient privacy since many of the patients scheduled for a COVID-19 test on that day declined to be filmed for HIPAA reasons. The individual responsible for this mistake has accepted responsibility and expressed deep remorse for this unfortunate situation,” Blackmon said.

CBS has said that they had no knowledge of the staging.
