This is a saliva test and is easy, something like biting a toothbrush for 3 minutes.

Neighborhood Testing Site
“Testing is free and locations were chosen in part to help address racial and ethnic disparities that existed prior to the … and were exacerbated…,” said Dr.Joneigh Khaldun, chief medical executive and chief deputy of health and MDHHS.“We are pleased more than 2,600 Michiganders have been tested at one of the Neighborhood Testing Sites since they opened at the end of August.”

The new sites join 19 other sites in Albion, Detroit, Ecorse, Flint, Graying, Lansing, Niles, Roseville, Saginaw and Wayne. Language translation is being provided at all sites, as well as assistance for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Testing sites are offering saliva tests, which are less invasive than nasal swabs and may make the testing process more tolerable for some people.
The dates of the testing are also listed on the Albion Google calendar. This calendar includes special events at the Bohm Theatre, Albion City Council meetings, and more.
