There are fears of a fresh Covid-19 outbreak at the Kinsale Road Direct provision Centre in Cork after residents received a letter asking them to attend for testing this Thursday.

The letter, issued door-to-door this week and seen by the Irish Examiner, "strongly advises" residents to attend testing between 4pm and 7pm on Thursday.
