Pairc Ui Chaoimh has today become the 35th testing centre for Covid-19 in Ireland.

The stadium is also the largest centre in the country with over 1,000 test to be carried out there on a daily basis.

Other stadiums across the country are already being used as testing centres, including Croke Park and Kilkenny's Nowlan Park.

The HSE is continuing to launch coronavirus test centres around Ireland in a bid to keep people out of hospitals.

The drive-thru centres proved successful in China and a lot of countries have followed with 19 sites running for Ireland.

Cork GAA offered use of the home of GAA in Cork on Wednesday, and the HSE have now accepted that offer.

Those who are suffering from symptoms should contact their doctors who will arrange tests if they think it's necessary.

There are already a number of test centres operating in Cork, where people who are referred can be tested. People are advised that they will not be tested without a referral.

There are centres in the city centre, and in North Cork and West Cork.
