The saliva test is just as accurate as the nasal swab test and is also used at in-person testing locations across the state.
- The saliva tests checks whether you have COVID-19 right now and can
spread it to others. It is not an antibody test that looks for whether you
have had COVID-19 in the past. - Both adults and children can use these tests. An adult 18 or older must
request a test for a child. - You can request up to five tests per household through the website.
- Saliva testing may not be right for those with low saliva production, such
as children under age 4 or someone who has suffered a stroke.
Testing is free for every Minnesotan, whether or not you have insurance. If
you do have insurance, you will need to provide your information so your
insurance company can pay for your test. If your insurance does not pay for
COVID-19 tests or does not pay enough, the state will cover the cost. If you do
not have insurance, the state will pay for your test. You will not receive a bill.
