Omicron's spread underscores the need for vigilance and care before holiday gatherings
Long lines at COVID-19 testing locations in New York and elsewhere recently illustrated two smart moves Minnesota made early in the pandemic: setting up no-cost "community testing sites" and launching a program that delivers free tests to homes.
There are now 24 community testing sites statewide. The high-population metro is home to a cluster of them, but the program spans the state with locations including Crookston, Duluth, Moorhead, Marshall, Hutchinson, Albert Lea and Winona.
Walk-ins are welcome, though appointments can be made. No proof of insurance is needed. Thirteen locations offer rapid COVID tests, with results potentially available in 20 minutes. Results from the standard test can be available in 24-48 hours.
