COVID-19 Testing Programs remain a valuable resource in slowing the spread of COVID-19 in our community. There are a number of options for how to get a COVID-19 test, many of which can be found below:

How Minnesotans can get a COVID-19 test:

• Walk in or schedule an appointment for a free test at one of the state’s 11 community testing sites across Minnesota: COVID-19 Community Testing Sites.
• Order a free test through the state’s at-home testing program: COVID-19 Test at Home.
• Find other testing options near them through the state’s Find Testing Locations map, including through local providers, pharmacies and clinics: Find Testing Locations.

 Who Should Get Tested

• Even if you are vaccinated, Minnesotans should get tested:
• if you have symptoms of the virus;
• if you have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19;
• if you are returning from international travel;
• or if you have attended a large gathering or event where people are not wearing masks and are not able to stay 6 feet apart.
• People who are unvaccinated should test before travel (domestic or international).
• Unvaccinated teachers, staff and students in K-12 should test weekly at a minimum or more frequently per CDC guidance.
• With the at-home program and 11 community testing sites offering free testing across the state, the state has made it easy for Minnesotans to find a test.
