A Covid-19 outbreak was confirmed at a Dublin apartment complex after the HSE offered residents free tests.

People living at the Dolphin House in Dolphin’s Barn, Dublin 8, were offered free testing after a cluster of cases was identified on the block.

Testing took place at the Dolphin House Community Center on Wednesday afternoon.

A letter to residents, seen by Dublin Live, urged locals to follow public health advice and take advantage of free testing after a “small number of Covid cases” were confirmed in the area.
