Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Covid-19 walk in test centre will open at Galway Airport tomorrow morning.
As with all other walk-in centres, it's aimed at testing those without symptoms of the virus.
As of April 30th, 50 thousand people have passed through walk-in Covid-19 test centres nationwide - including in Tuam and Ballinasloe.
They aim to identity asymptomatic cases of Covid-19 in areas with high incidence rates, to reduce or prevent further transmission in the community.
The walk-in centre at Galway Airport will operate alongside the existing test centre for those with symptoms, or those who are confirmed close contacts.
The new centre will open for walk-in appointments tomorrow morning at 10am - and will remain in place until Monday, May 10th.
It'll operate from 10am until 7.30pm on weekdays - and 10am to 5.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Those attending must be over 16 years of age, have photo ID, be free of Covid-19 symptoms - and have not tested positive for the virus over the past six months.
