Cardiff hospital preparing for 'huge wave' -

A senior figure at Wales' largest hospital says staff are in unchartered territory as it prepares to face "a huge wave" of coronavirus cases.

So far 14 patients have been admitted to intensive care at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff with the virus.

But Dr Richard Skone said efforts by staff so far had been monumental.

More than 800 clinicians from across different departments have been given specialist Covid-19 training.

Surprised it's as low as 14, plenty more to come in the next 21 days, unfortunately.

Unfortunately I think you might be right, let’s hope it’s not too bad and they can cope
