  • Parking is FREE in the DECC lot or ramp to people accessing the test site. Over 1,800 parking spaces are available at the DECC.
  • DO NOT park on Harbor Drive, along curbs or in authorized vehicle only spaces. Vehicles may be ticketed if parked in these areas.

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

Saliva tests 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.  Results may take longer during periods of high volume.
