Leaflets For New Testing Centre Posted By Gardaí
Since March, the HSE has opened walk-in Covid test centres across Ireland.
The sites are normally advertised on the HSE’s official website in advance of opening.
But residents in Aylmer Park were only told late last night that a pop-up centre would open in their estate.
Gardaí posted leaflets to houses warning of a recent rise in local Covid cases.
They also urged residents to protect “families and friends” in the area.
Gardaí directed questions about the new centre to the HSE.
However the HSE has not yet responded to a request for comment.
