Impact of new strain of Covid on NHS in Wales will be ‘profound’ if cases continue to rise

WELSH First Minister Mark Drakeford warned today that the impact of the new strain of Covid-19 on the NHS in Wales will be “profound” if cases continue to rise unchecked.
He said that the rise of the new variant provides better understanding of the large increase in cases and people being admitted to hospital in Wales from late November.
“Unless we can regain the grip on the spread of coronavirus, we will undoubtedly see more deaths here in Wales,” Mr Drakeford told the media.
