Location of second Mayo Covid-19 testing centre confirmed

THE second Covid-19 testing centre in Mayo will be open early next week.

It will be located at Elverys MacHale Park, Castlebar, and will join the Castlebar Leisure Complex as one of two testing centres in the county.

“Mayo GAA confirm that Elverys MacHale Park will be used by the HSE as a COVID-19 drive-through testing centre, beginning early next week.

“Access to the ground will be restricted to those working there and those attending appointments. Testing is by appointment only,” said a statement on the Mayo GAA website.

“We are delighted to be able to help the HSE at this time and we urge everyone to continue to respect the social distancing guidelines that are currently in place.”
