"It's just a tremendously difficult situation at the moment, and what's particularly difficult is that it's hard to really know when the situation is going to get better," he said. Compared with previous waves, the vaccination programme has reduced the number of people needing hospital treatment or intensive care after catching Covid.A total of 2,371,337, which is equivalent to 74.8% of the total population or 91% of those aged 16 and over.
"In the vast majority of cases there's an acceptance that actually this was potentially avoidable, with having been vaccinated. So there is acceptance there," he said.Wales' Health Minister Eluned Morgan warned that the high Covid case numbers showed "we are not out of the woods yet" and a fall in cases would not translate into a decrease in hospitalisations for another couple of weeks.
