The health ministry announced a total of 70 rapid test sites will operate around the island on Friday.

The sites provide free coronavirus tests to the public and for the obligatory weekly testing of employees.

All teachers, school staff and senior school students will need to present a negative rapid test each week to attend school.

Mobile units will go to schools, but students can also go to the various testing centres.

Self-employed and domestic workers are also obliged to carry a negative coronavirus test in case they are asked to present it, the ministry said.

Employees who receive the first dose of the anti-coronavirus vaccine do not have to get tested once three weeks have passed.

Results are issued at the site or sent to people via SMS within 24 hours. The sites for Friday are:
