Pop up PCR test centre to open in Killarney on Wednesday morning
By Sean Moriarty
A pop up COVID-19 Testing Centre will be opened by the HSE in Killarney commencing on January 12.
Test, by appointment only, will be offered at St Mary's Parish Hall.
People who are considered ‘longest waiters’ will be offered appointments to attend.
The extraordinary and unprecedented demand for this service experienced over the past week or so, far outstripped the capacity of our test centre in Tralee which is usually in a position to offer swabbing service within 24 hrs of demand,” said Michael Fitzgerald, Chief Officer for Cork/Kerry Community Healthcare.
“With the huge efforts of staff and the deployment of antigen testing to those under 40 in certain circumstances , the waiting list is reducing significantly daily and we would hope to return to a more timely offer of service over the coming days . This pop up centre will assist the local service in Kerry to do so.”
Tests for any Kerry test centre can be booked via this link: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/get-tested/
