Children need access to good quality advice and information during a "worrying time" for young people in Wales, the Children's Commissioner has said.

Dr Sally Holland and her team have created a coronavirus information hub for children and young people to stay up to date with information, and to access activities, during the coronavrius pandemic.

It includes fact-checked information, exercise tips, "fun activities" and mental health advice.

Dr Holland said: "This is a very worrying time, and also a very odd time, where everything feels a bit upside down.

"As children and young people you have the right to get the information you need, and good quality information."

Hundreds of NHS staff at a Welsh NHS board have been tested for coronavirus in a week in a bid to give them reassurance, a medical director has said.

Two health care workers from the Swansea Bay health board have died after testing positive for the virus.

Mental health nursing lecturer Brian Mfula and healthcare assistant Jenelyn Carter, who had worked for the health board for about two-and-a-half-years, both lost their lives.

Dr Richard Evans, medical director at the health board, said they would both be "very sadly missed".

He told BBC Radio Wales about 500 staff at Swansea Bay health board were tested last week, with about half of tests positive for Covid-19.

He told Clare Summers staff were "magnificent" and working exceptionally hard during the pandemic, but there were a lot of staff self-isolating due to having symptoms, or a member of their family being ill.

"We are able to offer tests to staff within 24 hours - last week we tested over 500 staff - the turnaround is quite quick," he said.

"About 45%, or about half of all the people we test turn out to have a positive test.

"With that many staff testing positive, we do have some challenges with the number of people at work, at the minute we are managing OK with that, people are working extremely hard to fill the gaps."

Carers supporting people with autism in Neath have made their own replica McDonald’s drive-thru to help them cope with the coronavirus lockdown.

The team from the National Autistic Society, external made their own uniforms and managed to get some packaging from McDonald’s stores to create an authentic experience.

Staff have been trying to come up with creative ways to maintain structure and routine and thereby reduce anxiety.

“Many of the autistic people we support can feel anxiety about change or unexpected events," said Nick Haake, National Autistic Society Cymru manager.

"This is particularly the case at the moment, with the ongoing disruption to people’s lives because of the coronavirus outbreak."

More financial support is needed to keep Holyhead Port’s ferry operators going during the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been claimed.

While some freight services continue between Wales and Ireland, the slashing of passenger services has led to calls for UK government cash to help it stay afloat, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The leader of Anglesey Council has written to transport secretary Grant Shapps and Welsh Secretary Simon Hart to raise her concerns for the future of the port's 400 staff.

Councillor Llinos Medi said the impact of coronavirus on the daily operations of both of Holyhead Port’s ferry operators – Stena Line and Irish Ferries – was “severe”.

“As the UK’s second busiest roll-on/roll-off port, Holyhead’s importance to Wales and the UK cannot be underestimated; with in excess of a million vehicle movements a year,“ Ms Medi said in her letter.

“The Irish government has already provided temporary financial support measures for its strategic maritime connections.”

The UK Department for Transport said it recognised "how challenging this period is for the transport sector" and encouraged all firms to make use of existing support announced by the chancellor.

"We’re committed to working with the devolved administrations and industry leaders, to offer the support they need and help provide certainty for workers," the spokesman added.

“We will continue to directly engage maritime companies and associations to tackle these challenges.”

The Prince of Wales will mark the official opening of the temporary hospital based at the Principality Stadium later today.

Ysbyty Calon Y Ddraig, the Dragon's Heart Hospital, is the largest temporary hospital in Wales and the second largest in the UK, providing up to 2,000 additional beds for Covid-19 patients.

It will double the size of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's capacity, with patients being treated in large tent-like structures and the hospitality boxes.

About 750 beds are on the pitch, with 250 on platforms around it, and there is on-site radiography, laboratories and a pharmacy.

Len Richards, chief executive of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, said the stadium "embodies the heart and soul of the nation".

"We are planning on the basis of what we think we might need to ensure we are as ready as we can be," he said.

A former British paratrooper is isolating on an uninhabited Shetland island after lockdown measures were introduced midway through a fundraising challenge to walk the UK coastline.

Chris Lewis had walked 12,000 miles after setting off from near his home in Swansea in August 2017.

He has now been given special permission to live in the one house on Hildasay, along with his dog Jet.

The 108-hectare island sits off the west coast of the Shetland mainland.

The 39-year-old was sleeping in a tent on mainland Shetland when lockdown restrictions were imposed on 23 March to limit the spread of coronavirus.

However, he and Jet were taken to Hildasay by boat and have remained there ever since.

Their new home is a former shepherd's hut without running water, heating or electricity. He was offered the keys by the family of the man who owns it after they heard he was camping.

Sir Tom Jones shared his own experience of fighting an infection before he performed on the Together At Home concert on Sunday evening.

Sir Tom performed The Glory of Love and told viewers he was isolated for two years when he had tuberculosis as a child.

"I thought that was bad then," the 79-year-old said. "But the National Health Service helped me then like they're helping all of us right now.

"So I would like to say thank you so much to the National Health for doing what they did for me then, and what they're doing right now for everybody else, and we have to do our best to stay home to help the National Health.

"We should stay home and follow orders and go along with what we're being told to do.

"Stick with it, be together and we'll survive."

“I've seen nurses holding people's hands and then Skypeing their loved ones,” recalls Keir Lewis.

"We didn't really want to take another roll of the dice if we're honest."

Janine Price - and her family from Barry - know how to beat the odds.

It took 22 different medical professionals to diagnose their 14-year-old daughter Bex with a rare, life-threatening condition.

Now, three years on from when she was rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital by ambulance, the family are facing up to the new risk posed by coronavirus.

Bex has pulmonary hypertension, which affects her heart and lungs.

In December 2016 she was so unwell she couldn't even be given a general anaesthetic before emergency treatment to save her life.

The family spent Christmas in hospital that year, and she now relies on intravenous medicine 24/7.

"I do think I'm one of the unlucky lot, but it's okay for me now because it's just become a thing and I'm okay with that," Bex said.

"Since I've been on my medication I've been doing a lot better and I can do things with my brother - we play basketball a lot in the garden.

"But because of my condition, we decided to isolate quite a bit earlier than everyone else…. and it's making us go a little bit stir crazy."

A rapid test for detecting Covid-19 has been developed by scientists at the University of South Wales.

The team has also created a portable device which can produce an accurate result in 20 to 30 minutes without having to return a sample to the laboratory.

The test and device are already being evaluated by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and could be in use at its care homes within weeks.

The health board said results were "looking excellent" so far.

High-risk workers from ethnic minorities could face "certain death" from Covid-19 without urgent action, a doctors' association has said.

The UK government launched a review after research suggested Covid-19 has a disproportionate impact on black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people.

The British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) said Wales should take steps "very quickly".

The Welsh Government said the UK review would inform its planning and response.
