When Longford was the county with the highest 14-day incidence rate per 100,000 of population in the country, there was a temporary Covid-19 testing site in Longford town.
The Longford pop-up event, which took place on Tuesday, March 16, slipped under the radar somewhat as it wasn’t promoted in any mainstream media.
A HSE spokesperson explained that the Longford event, at the Cluain Ard estate in Ardnacassa, Longford town, was instead ‘advertised by peer primary health care workers going from door to door in the area involved and speaking directly to residents and handing out flyers with information’.
