Over the last two years restrictions on hospital visits have had a huge impact on patients and their loved ones. Although Covid-19 rules in most public settings such as in schools, shops, and restaurants have eased over the last few months rules on visiting patients in hospitals across Wales remain in place to ensure the health and safety of patients, service users ,and staff.
