The Government's revealed the locations of five walk-in Covid testing centres.
The pop up centres are opening in locations in Dublin and Offaly where cases have been high.
The aim is to try and get a feel for how and why Covid is spreading faster in certain areas.
1 in 5 people with Covid present with no symptoms at all.
So it’s to try and find these people, to understand the transmission levels.
Four of the centres will be in Dublin:
- Tallaght Stadium
- Irishtown Stadium
- Grangegorman Primary Care Centre
- National Aquatic Centre – Blanchardstown
The other is in Tullamore Leisure Centre, Co Offaly.
Liz Canavan from the Department of Taoiseach says the locations are where Covid cases have been high.
"Testing people with no symptoms will help us find positive cases earlier and allow these people take the necessary action to protect others."
Testing Centres To Open Tomorrow
The centres will open tomorrow from 11am until 7pm and remain open for a week.
You don’t need an appointment.
People who have no symptoms of Covid and are within 5km of these locations can attend.
While anyone with symptoms of Covid is being asked not to go to these centres but to phone their GP.
