Coronavirus: NHS staff with Covid-19 given wrong test results

Some Welsh NHS staff with Covid-19 have been given wrong test results and were told they did not have coronavirus, BBC Wales has learned.

They are among a group of ten who have been given incorrect results - including eight from Aneurin Bevan Health Board and two from elsewhere.

It is not clear how many of the ten had Covid-19 and were told they did not, or vice versa.

It happened when a small number of test samples from a batch of 96 were attributed to the wrong patients.
