A verbal update by the Leader of the Council in relation to COVID-19 Minutes: The Leader of the Council, Councillor Ellen ap Gwynn,
provided a verbal update in relation to COVID-19. She noted that 46 positive cases were
reported yesterday, with 19 this morning. The rate of cases in Ceredigion is currently at 365.9 per
100,000 of the population, with a positivity rate of 11.9%. Cases are most prevalent among 10 to 19 year
olds. It was noted that students had returned to the County but that they
weren’t currently a cause for concern but this will be monitored. Although there has been some disruption to
education, none of the schools in Ceredigion have had to close. The Leader noted that during a meeting with
the Minister for Education, there was a suggestion that there is Framework in
place that allows local measures to be introduced where required. There has been an increase in the number of cases in the
Tregaron area recently, with the number of cases remaining high in the Cardigan
area. There are currently 8 cases at
Bronglais Hospital. The rollout of the vaccination for 12 to 15 year olds
started yesterday and appointment letters are being issued. It was also noted
that anyone that has received an appointment for a booster vaccine should
attend their nearest centre at Llanbadarn or Cwmcou at the time and date
specified on the appointment letter, and that they do not need to travel to
further afield. The Leader provided an update on Council services noting that three
care homes were in the red category due to cases amongst staff, which means
that the care homes are unable to receive new admissions. She also noted that there are problems with
recruiting care workers, both in public and private and public providers, and
encouraged everyone to promote these opportunities. The Leader reminded everyone that masks are still required in indoor public places and reiterated the importance of hand sanitising and ensuring good ventilation. It was also noted that events can now take place but, subject to appropriate risk assessments and noted that staff are available to advise event organisers. |
