The HSE says it expects a three to four-day turnaround time in processing Covid-19 test results from new clinics set up in different locations round the country.
As of today, additional tests are being provided at 19 sites in all Community Healthcare Organisation areas (CHOs). A further 15 locations will be added in the coming days, and efforts are continuing to identify facilities that can be used to provide drive-through testing.
It was announced earlier that Croke Park will be one of these drive-through venues. All tests are subject to GP referral and people are being asked not to present at the various centres without a scheduled appointment.
