Vale of Glamorgan council leader cllr Neil Moore has written an open letter to residents alongside top NHS staff THE leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council has written an open letter to residents of the Vale to highlight the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic in the area. Councillor Neil Moore, along with executive director of public health for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Fiona Kinghorn and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board chair Charles Janczewski have issued the letter in a plea for residents to take into consideration and do the right thing to help slow the spread of the virus.
Leader of the Vale Council Neil Moore has made the following statement in response to rising coronavirus cases across the Vale of Glamorgan in recent days. The increasing numbers of Covid-19 case numbers across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan Health Board area could not be any more serious or alarming. Therefore, this message needs to be acted upon urgently and be seen as a warning to each and every one of us about the seriousness of the health situation we are all now facing. If current projections continue, then by Christmas week we will be seeing more than four times the number of new infections each day, than we were seeing at the start of December. These projected figures are the highest we have ever seen in this County and are likely to reach almost 1,000 cases per 100,000 in the seven-day period up until Christmas Day. If you compare that with the figure of 50 cases per 100,000 when we entered the local lockdown, you can see how serious the current situation is.
