Staff Strongly Encouraged To Use Online Booking System For COVID-19 Tests



Colleagues,

As you may already be aware, demand for testing services has been very high this week.  On Monday and Tuesday alone, almost 3,100 tests were conducted by our teams at the COVID-19 Test Centres in Limerick, Ennis and Nenagh.

Online self-referrals remain open and capacity has been extended to meet 20k a day demand. We expect anyone who wishes to get tested can get a test same day (depending on what time they book). 

To reduce queues we would like people to book an online appointment rather than walk up. Some walk ins will be accepted but people should book online to speed up the process at the centres.

Tests can be booked via https://covid19test.healthservice.ie/hse-self-referral/

This action is not aimed at reducing demand, but rather it is designed to reduce queues from walk ins.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation.
