"Don't need symptoms if you were out last week we encourage folks to get tested," said Kou Thao with the Minnesota Department of Health.
Jeff Carlson says he attended several events at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue last week, where George Floyd died more than two weeks ago.
"Saw that anyone who is at the vigils or the protests should go over and get tested," said Carlson.
MDH planned for about 3,000 tests Tuesday and Wednesday.
