Coronavirus in Wales: Flood-hit families struggle with virus
Lauren Forward's business, Little Friends Playgroup, in Taff's Well, was submerged by the floodwaters in February.The 26-year-old and her mother Alison are now supporting key workers by providing childcare at a temporary site."We're in temporary accommodation now, ready for another site to be built - but we don't know what will happen with that now."We're looking after key workers' children - some of the parents are nurses.
Caroline Jones, 56, is in rented accommodation in Cardiff after escaping when water poured into her Nantgarw home, in Rhondda Cynon Taff. "Things still haven't settled down from the flood. My mother's in isolation. My father's in isolation. My sister's kind of locked herself away. Vikki says people have been hit hard. They were flooded twice in a matter of days and many of those who were affected were not insured."I think people are just trying to have to have a sense of humour where they can... posting things on Facebook, they're contacting everyone regularly, people are phoning each other."
