551 people underwent a Covid-19 test at a pop-up centre in Dungarvan yesterday.
A walk-in test centre on the grounds of the Community Hospital was set up in response to rising cases in West Waterford.
The HSE had said it was "concerned" at an increase in cases of COVID-19 recorded in Co Waterford over the last week, following a suspected cluster of Covid-19 cases in An Rinn.
The Executive said the response from the public has been extraordinary and says the centre will continue operating from 11am to 7pm, today and tomorrow Saturday.
Its testing facility in Kilcohan also remains open.
