School outbreaks cause spike in demand for Covid tests in Kerry

A trip to Kerry's single Covid test centre can involve a three-hour round trip for people living on the county's peninsulas.

There are calls for extra Covid-19 test centres for Co Kerry as demand soars during a spike in cases, which includes the closing of a school.

Kerry has just one public test centre, based in Tralee — a three-hour round trip for people living on Kerry's peninsulas.
