Why have Public Health Wales given a 48-hour figure rather than a 24-hour figure?
On Christmas Day, no figures were released. Yesterday, Boxing Day, figures were released covering the Christmas Eve period and then today they cover the Christmas Day and Boxing Day period to essentially catch up.
A similar thing will happen later this week as there will be no statistics published on New Years Day, so the figures published on Saturday, January 2 will be for the period from New Years Eve to New Years Day.
This has not affected people awaiting test results during this period, they have been provided to the patient as soon as the result has come back.
