COVID-19 Testing For The Holidays: See Locations In Woodbury

WOODBURY, MN — If you're traveling to Woodbury for the winter holidays or have relatives visiting, you may be looking for a site to get tested for COVID-19 to stay safe.

In its holiday guidance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said those joining gatherings with multiple households should take additional measures like getting tested and avoiding crowded indoor places before traveling.

The CDC also cautions anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 should not travel until they end isolation. Public health officials are encouraging people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus to protect young children and others who are not eligible or have not received a vaccine.
