Two new walk-in test centres to open in Donegal

TWO new pop-up test centres will open in Donegal over the next week – one at the GAA Centre of Excellence in Convoy and the Carndonagh GAA Club House.

The free walk-in testing centre in Convoy will run from tomorrow (Saturday) until Monday and will be open to members of the public who live within the Lifford-Stranorlar electoral area.

Meanwhile the free walk in testing centre in Carndonagh will operate from Tuesday until Thursday of next week and will be open to members of the public from the Carndonagh Electoral areas.

Both walk in centres will open from 11am to 7pm each day.

No appointment is necessary and the centres will be operated by the National Ambulance Service.

The service is for those who do not have Covid symptoms and for people who are concerned that they may have been at risk of infection in the past two weeks. Children can get tested if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. You must bring a photo ID with you and provide us with a mobile phone number so we can contact you with your results.

“We urge members of the public who have symptoms to consult their GP to arrange a test, and to not avail of the walk-in facility. Anyone who has already scheduled a Covid-19 test is asked not to attend,” said a HSE spokesperson.

The walk-in test centres are in addition to the walk-in test centre which will operate today today (Friday) from 11am to 7pm at Milford Mart.

The Letterkenny Community Testing Centre remains open also as a drive through GP/Public Health Referral and self referral testing centre.

The Cleary Centre Donegal Town is accepting both GP and Public Health referrals.
