Posted on 26/11/2020 17:39 byVery simple. The first minister has announced that they are looking at the tier three areas of England to see if they are missing anything The important point that he made however is that any future restrictions will apply to the whole of Wales. which I find ridiculous as there is such a varied level of cases (in general) between North and South Wales.

I suspect that it will be very difficult for areas to get out of the higher tiers, when one of the things considered before making that decision is pressure on the local NHS – including current and projected NHS capacity based on data around admissions, general/acute/ICU bed occupancy, staff absences. Even without covid hospitals are usually under pressure at this time of year.

Posted on 26/11/2020 17:48 byI thought you were speaking of 'now'. I have missed that announcement - haven't seen the Welsh news for a few days. No TV reception where we are, and Radio 4 news has been taken up with what's happening in England.
On the whole, I have been satisfied with the way things have been handled in Wales up to now.

He was talking about it being a Nationwide action rather than follow the tiered system and I suspect it wasn't a lockdown but more of the same with a few tweaks here and there. But I'll post whatever it is as you seem to be bereft of news of Wales. Radio Cymru not working in your area?

Liverpool City area seem to have managed it, for the time being at least.

Was it not obvious that Liverpool would be changed to Tier 2 as a reward for mass testing. If they had remained in Tier 3 then why would anyone spend time queueing in future for a test for no result.
I accept that one reason for testing is to try to find those who are asymptomatic so they can self quarantine, however I find it difficult to believe that both of us are asymptomatic and more likely neither of us have Covid.
