A Mobile Testing Unit has been deployed in Larne from 7 September 2021.

The number and location of test sites is continually reviewed by my Department and by the Public Health Agency (PHA).

Full details of current locations can be found on the PHA website at https://www.publichealth.hscni.net/covid-19-coronavirus/testing-and-tracing-covid-19/testing-covid-19
