The push is on to get COVID-19 tests into Minnesota households ahead of the holiday season so that people can easily test, if needed, before gathering with others.
The Minnesota Department of Health encourages those who test positive to contact their health care provider to see treatment options even if they have mild or moderate symptoms.
The MN Department of Health says that each week multiple communities across the state will be set up to offer free testing, with Grand Rapids a focus the first week.
