A second Welsh health board has reintroduced face masks in all hospital settings. Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board announced the reintroduction of face masks for all areas of all hospitals for both staff and patients on their social media accounts.
The health board has also asked those attending their hospitals to social distance where possible. The new measures came into effect as of 5pm on Thursday, June 23. Cwm Taf Morgannwg is the second health board to reintroduce Covid-19 prevention measures, following Aneurin Bevan earlier in the week.
The news comes as the Welsh Government has decided to extend its access to free lateral flow device (LFD) tests until the end of July due to rising cases. Health minister Eluned Morgan has confirmed that free tests will remain available in Wales until July 31.
