Responding to the news of a further death of a nurse in Wales from COVID19, Helen Whyley, Director of the Royal College of Nursing Wales, said: "I am devastated to learn that another nurse has passed away. This is the third reported death of a nursing professional in Wales due to COVID-19. During this difficult time, I would like to express my condolences to all of their families, friends and colleagues.
Our nursing community has stepped up in extraordinary ways to deal with this health crisis from coming out of retirement to being redeployed to specialised clinical areas. Nurses have been at the forefront of the battle against COVID19.
For those who have sadly passed away, we will always remember their sacrifice and dedication to caring for their patients.”
