New Covid-19 assessment centre in Dublin for marginalised groups

Ronnie Fay, co-director of Pavee Point, says Travellers in Dublin have been very badly affected by the virus.

The Minister for Health will open a new Covid-19 assessment centre this morning, aimed at marginalised groups in Dublin's inner city.

The hub at the Mater Hospital will include a mobile unit to test and treat vulnerable communities, with results available in under an hour, according to the Irish Times.
