“These latest hospital outbreaks are a terrible reminder that COVID is not yet gone” – Sian Gwenllian MS
Plaid Cymru response to outbreaks in Gwynedd hospitals
Responding to news that Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board are currently dealing with outbreaks of COVID-19 in Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor and Ysbyty Eryri in Caernarfon, Sian Gwenllian, Plaid Cymru Member of Senedd for Arfon, said,
“These latest hospital outbreaks are a terrible reminder that COVID is not gone, and great care is still needed.
“This is of particular concern given the backlog that we know that every hospital is facing, and the increased pressure from so many visitors to tourist areas such as north west Wales.
“Across Wales, cases are rising and we’re starting to see a corresponding increase in hospital transmission. It’s vitally important that Welsh Government continues its outreach programme to ensure as many people as possible receive the vaccine.”
