The health board has confirmed there have been outbreaks in University Hospital Llandough and University Hospital Wales in January, but said the sharp rise can also be attributed to high levels of community transmission. A spokesman for the health board said: “Since mid-December 2020, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has experienced instances where patients have developed Covid-19 symptoms whilst early into their admission, leading to onward transmission to other patients on both the UHW and UHL sites. “Our investigations into the causes have not identified any single cause; however, we feel that the increase is reflective of the increased community transmission observed during this same period.”
