STILLWATER, MN — Many Stillwater residents who traveled for New Year's festivities or had friends and family over to celebrate the holiday may now be looking for a site to get tested for the coronavirus.

Public health officials are also warning anyone who tested positive for the coronavirus not to travel until they end isolation.

Minnesota has seen a surge in demand for coronavirus tests over the winter holidays, fueled in part by the omicron variant. The Minnesota Department of Health on Monday ended walk-in testing at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport due to crowding.
