Prof Jean White, who advised Welsh ministers during the pandemic, gave evidence to the inquiry.
The former chief nursing officer for Wales has told the Covid inquiry she believes mistakes were made in banning hospital visits.
"In neo-natal services, I think both parents should have been allowed to have been with their child, as a pair."So there's lots of folk we should have made more exceptions of earlier on. I wouldn't have done exactly the same thing all over again. "The role I played in visiting is the thing that's stayed with me the most out of all my experiences," said Prof White.
As chief nursing officer, she became aware of an issue in early April 2020 that FF3P face masks used in critical care were not fully waterproof, so staff resorted to double masking.
