A woman displaying symptoms of Covid-19 claims she was advised by a HSE representative to take a bus to her testing centre as she did not have private transport.
The woman, who lives in the north inner city in Dublin, was referred to a test centre in Swords, over 10km away. When the woman said she did not have private transport, she was told she would have to wait a further four days before the HSE would be able to organise transport for her. At that point, she says, she was advised to take the bus “because I was not a confirmed case yet”.
