Venue Cymru in Llandudno has been requisitioned by the local Health Board and turned into a field hospital for patients with coronavirus respiratory problems. The theatre, which will house 350 patients, was offered by Conwy County Borough Council to ease the pressures on North Wales’ three main hospitals in Bodelwyddan, Wrexham and Bangor. It has been renamed Ysbyty’r Enfys – the Rainbow Hospital – to reflect the rainbow signs displayed in homes across the country as a symbol of hope during the lockdown.
