Wadena Armory is COVID-19 testing site

The new sites will be operated by the Minnesota National Guard and will remain open through at least the end of the year, in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota National Guard and local public health staff. The Wadena site will offer a non-invasive nasal swab test.
Free, on-site ‘no-barrier’ testing will be available at the armory at no-cost to all Minnesotans, whether they have symptoms or not. Health insurance and identification are not required. All are welcome.
