What’s New
COVID-19 tests
COVID-19 testing is an option at the Children’s Minnesota West St. Paul clinic for all kids – with or without symptoms. A visit with a provider is required. Availability for COVID-19 testing, and the time it takes to get results, may vary.
If you are looking for testing without a visit with a provider, there are many options available – you can visit your local retail pharmacy or find a local COVID-19 testing site through the Minnesota Department of Health.
