Coronavirus in Wales: Date set for contact tracing to start - BBC News
Updates on the pandemic in Wales from Wednesday 27 May.
Cardiff and Vale health board has said two of their members of staff died in the same week after contracting coronavirus.

Nurse Dominga David and theatre assistant Allan Macalalad died after testing positive for Covid-19.

In a letter to colleagues, chief executive Len Richards offered condolences to their families.

Dominga David, 62, had worked at University Hospital of Llandough since 2004 and Mr Richards said she “will be remembered as an exceptionally hard worker and a respectful, kind and compassionate person when interacting with patients, families and colleagues alike.

“The teams say she was part of their family and she was well-loved by everyone. She is survived by her son Renzie, to whom we send our deepest condolences.”

Theatre assisant Allan Macalalad, 44, worked in ophthalmology theatres. He was a carpenter by trade and settled in Cardiff with his wife, Elsie, who is a nurse with a neighbouring health board. He is survived by Elsie and his son, Justin.

“The ophthalmology theatres and SSSU team are a close knit team and were shocked and saddened to hear of Allan’s passing," Mr Richards wrote.

He described Mr Macalalad as a perfect gentleman, sociable, hardworking, and a loyal team player.

“It is absolutely heart-breaking to have lost two colleagues in the same week to Covid-19," executive nurse director Ruth Walker said.

"Both Allan and Dominga were valued members of our team here in Cardiff and Vale UHB and we will miss them profoundly and we send our condolences to their respective families.

“Our thoughts are with Allan and Dominga’s teams in UHB, and their loved ones both here in the UK and the Philippines.”
