The HSE has confirmed to the Athlone Advertiser that the Covid-19 pop-up centre now open on the grounds of Athlone GAA on the Ballymahon Road will remain operational beyond this week due to the demand for the testing from the public.
The self-referral test centre, which is operational from 10am to 6pm, was established in response to County Westmeath having the highest Covid-19 14 day incidence rate in the country.
Appointments for the pop-up test centre on the grounds of Athlone GAA can be made online at https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/get-tested/.
In response to the demand for Covid-19 testing, the HSE noted that they are monitoring “test appointment slots continually throughout the day” and slots often “become available later in the day or the following day”.
