First reported by Sgt. Mahsima Alkamooneh, Minnesota National Guard. Summarized here; the full story ran in the printed issue.

About 200 Minnesota National Guard members were working at nine community COVID-19 testing sites, including new ones in Cottage Grove, Anoka and North Branch, and had helped test over 105,000 Minnesotans since November.

The article traces the Guard's pandemic role since March 2020, from supplying protective equipment to first responders to mass testing, and notes that every state has called up Guard forces.
