The NHS will be ready from December to roll out the new coronavirus vaccine if it gets approved, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.
Mr Hancock told MPs the news about the vaccine was an important step but "there are no guarantees".
He also said "we don't know" how many people will need to be vaccinated in order for life to return to normal.
And he announced that, from Tuesday, NHS staff will begin being tested twice a week.
It comes as a further 20,412 coronavirus cases were reported in the UK on Tuesday, with another 532 deaths within 28 days of a positive test recorded.
Tony the figures WG and Westminster use are so unreliable ! As I posted earlier excess deaths are 30k+ between march/July but covid related deaths are 2600 but that doesn't mean actually dying of covid though...
The majority of deaths in Wales ar moment are from people catching covid while in hospital which is scary to say least! Here in pembs only 3 people are in hospital with covid as far as aware so best move here?
Agree with you allan - These figs have been all over the place since late June mate .
Figs added - Figs taken off - " Numbers Thearter " - Was the call at the time
We should get the result of the " Firebreak " later this week or next from the WG .
Will wait and see before i go on - Right Move to a move to the Pembs
Forgot to say the difference in excess deaths and covid is caused by people dying from delayed treatment for cancer heart ect ect......here in Wales as many people have died from excess cancer deaths as have of covid related deaths so the figures for other illnesses must be staggering
