Chief Medical Officer for Wales statement on 21 Day COVID-19 review: 28 October 2021
NHS Wales chief executive Andrew Goodall has warned the dual challenge of the COVID pandemic and other respiratory viruses will make this winter ‘one of the hardest we have ever faced’, as the NHS Wales Health and Social Care Winter Plan is published.
In line with changes being made in the rest of the UK, all fully-vaccinated travellers arriving in Wales will be able to take a lateral flow test instead of the current requirement to take a PCR test. The changes will come into force in Wales on Sunday 31 October.

Are you using the NHS COVID-19 app? The app allows you to report symptoms, order a coronavirus test, and check in to venues by scanning a QR code, all while protecting your anonymity. If you’ve already downloaded the app, please remember to use it – the more people who use the app, the greater our chances of reducing the spread of the virus. The app is an important part of our Test, Trace, Protect programme.
