Minnesota is proud to offer at-home COVID-19 saliva testing for any person who wants to be tested, with or without symptoms, at no cost.
You can do everything from your home except dropping the sample into a local UPS drop box.
You will need to:
- go online to order the test kit
- provide an email address
- do a Zoom call to provide the sample correctly with a test supervisor
- show that person your photo ID
- drop the sample (in the already prepaid package) at a physical UPS site or a local drop box. (They say do not drop it at a 'pharmacy' UPS dropoff.)
This is the link from the MN Department of Health website that explains the process, and will guide you to the Vault Health, Inc. website to order the test kit, etc.
This is the UPS Locator for finding a local dropbox.
Or you may want to check out this Community Testing site finder, again from the MN Department of Health website.
There are at least 8 sites in the greater Minneapolis St. Paul area (including the Minneapolis Convention Center and Wilkins Arena).
Be well!
