Hi Neighbors,
Given the recent rise in coronavirus cases across the nation, I wanted to make sure you know where you can get tested right here in Minnesota. If you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive or have common symptoms associated with coronavirus (fever, cough, and shortness of breath), you should immediately isolate yourself from others and get tested. We’re in this together, and getting tested is simple and safe. Here’s how…
The bipartisan CARES Act ensures that COVID-19 tests are covered by insurance. If you have questions about your coverage, call your insurance company prior to getting tested, and if you feel you’ve been incorrectly billed for a test, my office is here to help. Sites might require an appointment before you arrive, so call ahead to see what your nearest testing site requires:

We WILL overcome this together, but we’re not out of the woods yet. Many people with coronavirus are asymptomatic carriers spreading the disease without knowing they have it. We all have a role to play in keeping our neighbors and businesses safe, healthy, and thriving so please wear a mask, stay at least six feet apart from others, and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
We will not be able to meaningfully address the pandemic or fully re-open safely until we see a dramatic increase in our testing capabilities, and we have more work to do. That is why I am working closely with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make sure that our country has a plan to address the pandemic and that states have the supplies and equipment needed to meet this challenge.
We must continue to work together, stay focused, and put people first. I have faith that as Americans we will pull together and take care of one another, and that we will get through it and be stronger and more united than we were before.
Keep the faith and keep in touch,
Dean Phillips
