COVID-19 testing events planned in various Duluth neighborhoods

St. Louis County Public Health is planning numerous free COVID-19 testing events throughout Duluth this month. The saliva testing events are free and open to anyone, whether symptomatic or not. The locations were chosen to ensure easy access for people who may have transportation challenges that prevent them from being tested at other existing sites.

 

  • Wednesday, February 3, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Asbury Church parking lot, 6822 Grand Avenue, at the Public Health Mobile Trailer
  • Friday, February 5, noon to 4 p.m. at the LifeHouse Imaginarium, 16 N. 1st Ave West
  • Tuesday, February 9, 2 to 5 p.m., at the Copper Top Church parking lot, 230 East Skyline Parkway, at the Public Health Mobile Trailer
  • Wednesday, February 10, noon to 4:00 p.m. in the Denfeld High School gymnasium (use the entrance near the football field)
  • Wednesday, February 17, 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Asbury Church parking lot, 6822 Grand Avenue, at the Public Health Mobile Trailer
  • Tuesday, February 23, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Copper Top Church parking lot, 230 East Skyline Parkway, at the Public Health Mobile Trailer
  • Wednesday, February 24, 3 to 6 p.m. in the Denfeld High School gymnasium (use the entrance near the football field)

All COVID-19 testing provided by St. Louis County Public Health are non-invasive saliva tests. Test results are typically returned within 48-72 hours.

 

People must not eat, drink, chew gum or use tobacco for thirty minutes prior to testing. To speed up the testing process, people are encouraged to register for an account at Vaulthealth.com and remember their account sign-in information when they come to be tested. Public Health staff will have technology available on site to help anyone who needs assistance creating an account.

 

Anyone with questions about COVID-19 and testing opportunities is encouraged to call the St. Louis County Public Health Information Line at 218-625-3600.
