There are additional temporary COVID-19 testing centres opening in Kerry.
Walk-in testing continues to be available in the county over the coming days, with pop-up testing now available in Killarney and Listowel. The HSE says there are temporary facilities in Killarney today, beginning at this morning at 11 and running until 7pm. The walk-in centre is at Killarney Community Hospital.
Over the weekend, the walk-in centre facility will be in North Kerry – again from 11am to 7pm – both on Saturday and Sunday at the Listowel Primary Care Centre.
Meanwhile, the existing test centre in Tralee at Ballymullen Barracks will continue to offer walk-in testing from 9-11am, Monday to Saturday and 2-3pm on Sundays.
The pop-up testing in Killarney and Listowel was planned in partnership by Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, the National Ambulance Service and public health experts.
Everyone attending for testing needs to bring a photo ID and a mobile phone number to receive their results. No appointment is necessary, but it can speed up the process if you book in advance on hse.ie. The HSE says there is a high level of the virus circulating at the moment.
Testing will be available at:
- Thursday and Friday, Killarney Community Hospital, V93 X671, 11am to 7pm.
- Saturday and Sunday, Listowel Primary Care Centre, V31 VN25, 11am to 7pm.
