The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has confirmed that nine new Covid-19 walk-in test centres will open up across Ireland next week - as well as some being extended until Sunday.
People will not be required to get a referral from their GPs and the tests will be free.
They will have to bring ID and provide their phone number in order to get their results.
You can use this free, walk-in Covid-19 testing service if you:
- Are aged 16 and over
- Do not have symptoms, but would like to be tested
- May not have your own GP (doctor),
Minister Donnelly said last month the aim of these pop up facilities is to “target” the virus.
