The link between Covid-19 and hospitalisation has been 'weakened' in Wales, says health minister

Wales' vaccination rollout has 'weakened the link' between contracting coronavirus and hospitalisation, the health minister has confirmed. Eluned Morgan, speaking at the Welsh Government's press conference on Monday afternoon, said even the threat of the more transmissible Delta variant is not having a significant impact on hospital admission rates. Across Wales the seven-day Covid infection rate has now risen to 95.6 cases per 100,000 people in Wales, with more people are coming forward for testing every day.
