Seven new walk-in Covid-19 testing centres will open across the country in the coming days. Two of the centres, which are aimed at people who do not have Covid-19 symptoms but still want to be tested, will open in Co Cork. A facility at Midleton GAA Club opened on Friday and will be in use until Sunday. Elsewhere in East Cork, a facility at Youghal GAA Club will run from Monday until Wednesday, 11am to 7pm.
