“They have had symptoms such as coughs and a temperature, so they have dealt with that at home and they have come out the other side.”
Pivac would not name the individuals, but sent out a message to the Welsh public.
“What it’s telling us is you can be the fittest bloke in the world but this thing is not going to discriminate,
