Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, Michigan’s chief medical executive and chief deputy for health:

We are working to make these Neighborhood Testing Sites as accessible as possible to the communities most in need. Ensuring all Michiganders can get tested is a priority for the department and we appreciate the partnerships with these community organizations helping make that happen.

 

If you're like me and you get anxiety over the thought of someone shoving a large cotton swab up your nose, don't worry because a less invasive saliva test will be used at the sites.

Online registration is available on the Michigan coronavirus website.
