At-home testing – The state of Minnesota has worked to bring easy, at-home testing to all Minnesotans. All Minnesota residents have access to a free, at-home saliva test through Vault. Click here to learn more and order your testing kit.

Community Testing Locations – Community testing sites are available at no-cost to all Minnesotans. Hospitals and clinics may have different pay structures, so be sure to contact both the testing site and your health insurance company ahead of your visit to make sure you won’t be charged for a test.
