Wales is still leading the UK for the rolling rate of total Covid-19 vaccinations given per population and is on track to vaccinate three quarters of a million people by mid-February.
A REVISED and updated coronavirus testing strategy has been published today by Health Minister Vaughan Gething. The original testing strategy was published in July 2020 and has been revised in light of a greater understanding of the virus, the development of new testing technology and the roll-out of the vaccination programme. The new strategy also expands Welsh Government s testing approach to include more regular testing for NHS and care home staff and patients in hospitals. A community testing framework is also being published today which builds on the pilot schemes in Merthyr Tydfil and Lower Cynon to test asymptomatic people to stop the spread of the virus.
