One senior medic says health boards will face extra pressures long after the pandemic recedes.
However, he said, the number of emergency patients and the complexity of patient conditions was very different to how it was before the pandemic.
"We would love to say that when this is all over we will rapidly get back to normal and the backlog will clear but I think we all know that is not the case."and there were more than 2,000 patients in hospital with the virus. However, the numbers being treated in intensive care are lower now than they were early in the pandemic, partly due to vaccination and improved medical treatments.
However, she said there were still many staff absences causing disruption in the workforce, and many cases in the population of people catching Covid for a second or even a third time.
