‘You will end up in ITU if you are not careful'
Dr Jones urged the public to stay at home and only leave for essential journeys, adding: ‘We are prepared to surge if we need to but we hope we don’t. We hope lockdown and social distancing will flatten the curve, but people do need to lock down.‘I’ve got ITU patients on my ward who were previously fit and well so if you think it’s not going to affect you and you can just go out and do what you want then you are wrong.
Dr Jones said she was not concerned about the availability of personal protective equipment in the hospital, and actually feels more at risk while out shopping ‘because it’s full of people I can’t control who might not be washing their hands’. The consultant, previously deployed to Afghanistan while in the British Army, said Wales is ‘ahead of the curve with testing’ and the health board has been swift in getting people swabbed.‘We are giving good patient care and I feel reassured what we are delivering to patients is of the highest standard.
