Sorry for early Covid mistakes, says Wales health minister
Eluned Morgan says she has never understood politicians who refuse to apologise where it's due
Wales and the rest of the UK went into lockdown on 23 March - while the policy was controlled by ministers in Cardiff, early on they acted alongside the Westminster government. There have been a total of 8,262 deaths where Covid was mentioned on the death certificate up to 24 September this year. But the minister argued it would have been "extremely difficult" to have locked down Wales before England, because of the border and "because furlough was not available".
The daughter of a man who died from Covid last year said it was "good to have an apology" but said it was "slightly qualified". 11 March - WHO declared coronavirus pandemic, first Welsh case found to have transmitted in the community Welsh Conservative health spokesman Russell George said: "The pandemic was an unprecedented crisis and as these reports show decision-makers in government followed the science and evidence provided by experts."However Mark Drakeford argued in the Senedd that the report strengthens the argument for the Welsh "experience to be properly investigated within the wider UK context".
