In a further positive development in Covid related matters It has been announced by Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford that the remaining Covid restrictions end with effect from today Monday 30th May.

The First Minister stated:

“The pandemic has had a profound impact on all our lives – everyone has made sacrifices and changes over the last 2 years. But it is thanks to all your efforts that we can move beyond the emergency response while still living safely with this virus.

I want to thank everyone for all you have done to protect yourselves and your loved ones. You have followed the rules and you have kept Wales safe.

This 3-week review of the coronavirus regulations is a significant milestone – we are completing our careful and gradual transition away from legal protections and away from the emergency response to the pandemic.”

This follows continued improvement in the public health situation reported in results from a recent ONS Coronavirus infection survey.

It is hoped this positive direction will continue and we will keep you updated
