Ramsey County Public Health is working with community partners to offer COVID-19 testing at two sites over the next four weekends. The drive-thru and walk-up testing is open to anyone, with or without symptoms. The testing is free, no insurance or ID is needed and will start Aug. 8, at the following locations and days:
- Saturdays, 2-6 p.m. – Aldrich Arena 1850 White Bear Avenue, Maplewood, MN 55109

Public Health is operating the clinics in collaboration with the Hmong American Partnership, the Hmong Health Care Professionals Coalition, the Karen Organization of Minnesota, M Health Fairview, the Minnesota Department of Health, Saint Paul Public Schools, Ramsey County Parks & Recreation, the Medical Reserve Corps and the State Emergency Operations Center.
In addition to testing, Public Health and community partners will provide information about COVID-19, the testing process and why and how contract tracing is done. Interpreters will be available on site.
