🚨🚨 The reduction in #Covid19 cases in Wales in recent weeks has stopped and around 34.5% of the tests carried out are coming back positive.

➡️ Cases have less relevance now though and patients in ventilated beds are down to their lowest point since August (see thread)

There are now over twice as many empty ventilated hospital beds in Wales as there are patients with Covid in them.

60% of the patients in general hospital beds with #Covid19 in Wales are not in because of it and many would have caught it in hospital.
