COVID-19 Community Saliva Testing

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is offering Minnesotans more and different options for COVID-19 testing by offering saliva testing, in addition to traditional COVID-19 community testing, in a growing number of locations across the state. The test is more comfortable than a nasal swab, and available at no cost to anyone who believes they need a COVID-19 test.

Saliva testing is free and available to all Minnesotans who believe they need to be tested, with or without symptoms.

Identification is not required. You do need to have an email address and phone number to receive your results.

Insurance is not required. If you do have insurance, you will need to show your card. The test is completely free whether or not you have insurance, and you will not receive a bill.

Saliva testing may not be right for those with low saliva production, such as children under age 4 or someone who has suffered a stroke.

Dear IBEW Members:

Due to COVID-19, we are taking precautionary measures to protect you, your families, and our staff in the office.

The Business office will continue to remain closed for in person visits. We ask that you conduct business by: Phone, Email, Mail or Online. 612-379-1292 or office@ibew292.org or ibew292.org. We continue to work toward a plan to open for limited business transactions at the office.

The Hiring Hall will be open for referrals only. If you accept a job, please contact the dispatcher (hiringhall@ibew292.org or call (612-379-1292)) to make sure someone is available at the office to assist you. DO NOT come to the Local 292 Offices if you are feeling ill, stay home. Practice safe social distancing if you do stop in the hiring hall for a referral, masks are available when you enter the building.

For information regarding the status of the Minneapolis Electrical JATC and the MN Limited Energy Training JATC please contact them.

There could be more cancellations in the future so stay tuned.

Smaller meetings such as: Safety Committee, COPE Committee, History Committee, Veterans Committee, Sisters in Solidarity Committee, EWMC, and RENEW may be held as smaller groups or via Zoom.

Thank you for your continued patience as we all work through this crisis. Nothing is more important to us than protecting the health and safety of our members and our families. Please stay safe. We will continue to evaluate the COVID-19 situation and will be updating information on our website at IBEW292.org and/or by email or mail. Please make sure your email address is current with Local 292 so we can communicate with you more efficiently. Please follow all the recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control to limit or eliminate your exposure by staying at home, washing hands often, cleaning surfaces, and practicing recommended social distancing.

In Brotherhood,

Jeffrey J. Heimerl, Business Manager IBEW Local 292
