Get Tested for COVID-19

If you were involved in protests, vigils, or neighborhood events, The State of Minnesota is offering COVID-19 testing to people living in the communities impacted by recent large gatherings in the Twin Cities area. If you do not live in these neighborhoods, we encourage all other Minnesotans to be tested at their local clinic. For help finding a nearby location, see Find Testing Locations.
