THE HSE has confirmed a walk-in Covid-19 test centre will open in Limerick later this week in response to the recent surge in cases across the city and county.
The four-bay facility will operate at St Joseph s Health Campus, Mulgrave Street between 11am to 7pm for five days beginning on Wednesday.
No appointment is needed and the free service is being led by the National Ambulance Service, with support from HSE Mid-West Community Healthcare and Public Health Mid-West.
The walk-in test centre is for those who have Covid-19 symptoms and for people who are concerned that they may have been exposed to Covid infection in the past two weeks.
