Coronavirus: 'Call first before attending A&E' for non-emergencies

Health Minister Vaughan Gething says patients with a non-life threatening illness or injury will have to call before going to Wales' biggest A&E department.

They will be assessed remotely and given a time slot for the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff if needed.

Hospital bosses feel overcrowded waiting rooms would provide an "unacceptable" risk to patients from coronavirus.
