COVID-19 Community Saliva Testing

Posted on by Mary Sullivan


The COVID testing site will be closed Monday, June 14 – Sunday, June 20 due to Grandmas’ Marathon Activities in the DECC facility.  Testing will resume on Monday, June 21 in Paulucci Hall.

COVID Testing Schedule Beginning Monday, June 21:
Sundays: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Monday – Thursday: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Friday-Saturday: CLOSED

There no COVID testing July 3-5 due to the July 4 Holiday.

COVID-19 testing is available at no cost at all Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) community testing sites.

These saliva tests are more comfortable than nasal swabs and just as accurate, but they may not be a good option for those with low saliva production, such as very young children or people who have suffered a stroke. Results are emailed to you 24-48 hours after taking the test.

If you have questions about saliva testing, please email mn@vaulthealth.com or call 800-800-5698.
