“The COVID-19 pandemic remains a serious issue for our community, and I encourage anyone who is worried that they have been exposed to it to take advantage of this free testing opportunity”, said Senator David Tomassoni (DFL-Chisholm). “While our cases have been low, if you have any doubt about possibly contracting this virus or if you just want to know if you have it but are asymptomatic, this is an opportunity to get tested free of charge.”
