COVID-19 Testing For The New Year: See Locations In Woodbury

WOODBURY, MN — Many Woodbury 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.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged those joining gatherings with multiple households to take additional measures like getting tested and avoiding crowded indoor places before traveling.

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.
