Paramedics are now being drafted in to carry out coronavirus tests.
It's part of the Department of Health's increased efforts to tackle the spread of the virus in Ireland.
Four more cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the west of Ireland, two men and two women just back from Northern Italy.
The National Ambulance Service Representative Association's 1,900 members will be among the personnel who will travel to the home of a person suspected of contracting Covid-19.
Screening will continue to be only carried out on anyone who's symptomatic, has come into contact with a confirmed case and/or has travelled back from an effected area.
