Free COVID-19 Home Tests
Recently, the federal government activated a website where every home in the U.S. can order four free at-home COVID-19 tests at no cost. The process for ordering requires your name and address and will take less than 30 seconds to complete. Your order will be shipped USPS in 7-12 business days. Families can order these free at-home tests at COVIDtests.gov.
Also, the State of Minnesota is continuing to make testing more accessible. Families can continue to order Vault saliva tests at no cost, just visit one of the state's community testing sites or use the state's online Find Testing Locations tool to find a clinic or pharmacy providing tests.
