State-run COVID-19 testing sites closing this weekend

(KDLM/MNN) – Minnesota’s four remaining state COVID-19 testing sites are closing this weekend after a nearly three-year run.

The St. Paul Midway site closes Friday, the Duluth location closes Saturday and testing sites in Brooklyn Park and at MSP Airport shut down Sunday.

State health officials said tests are still available through the at-home test ordering program and through local pharmacies or clinics.

Health Commissioner Brooke Cunningham says the state-run testing sites, “were a cornerstone of Minnesota’s nation-leading response to COVID.”
