Care home death figures in Carmarthenshire during the second wave were almost twice than the first AROUND twice as many care home residents in Carmarthenshire died in the second wave of the corornavirus pandemic compared to the first, councillors have been told. During the second wave, 33 homes for older people and 23 homes for people with a learning or mental health disability have had to exclude new admissions due to positive Covid cases.
