They apparently then drove away from the scene and managed to crash further down the road, near the hospital! Gardaí arrested them. I think the car they crashed into had to have the occupants cut out of the car. Hopefully no one seriously injured.

Got about two and a half hours notice. It sucks, but I dunno what else they can do, Kerry is pretty spread out.

oeb wrote: » I know before they were setting up the drop in test centres, they were sending people out into peoples houses to conduct the test there. I assume that they would use that approach. It's just two swabs, one in the nose, one in the throat, only takes 5 min.

oeb wrote: » I don't understand what your point is though. You said what happens if someone can't travel to the test center, and I said I assume they send someone out to them, like they were doing before the test centers opened. My buddy was able to drive to the test center, as he does have a car, and while he is sick, it was something that made the drive uncomfortable rather than impossible or dangerous.
