Covid in Wales: Restrictions worth it, minister says

Mr Gething said: "If you look at what's happened where there's been a much lower level of protective measures, in England, they have risen faster.

"So, I do think when we look at this, we can be confident that more people would have come to harm without the protections we had in place. On Friday, the first minister announced a roadmap towards lifting the Omicron restrictions, subject to positive Covid data, including allowing nightclubs to reopen later this month

"But we're thinking about the release of the measures whether, actually, it will prevent more harm coming into the system by keeping those measures in place."We need to continue to look at if there's another strain, another variant or a blip upwards in case rates.

Yeah, the Welsh are partying alike Westminster......

Thick Taff

vaughangething can offer nothing but assumptions and no evidence. Omicron is no worse than a cold. Pre 2019 it would have been ignored rather than damaging businesses and degrading peoples' Christmas celebrations.

What minister

These Public Health Measures were essential to preventing our NHS from being overwhelmed. Most importantly, they prevented serious illness in many. They've his business hard & caused great anger, as well as increasing some mental ill health; hence the criticism of these decisions

Of course they do. They're never going to say 'we were wrong'. Absolute joke.

Labour in Wales need not to be just beaten but obliterated. Every govt, every council, every institution anywhere that backed this assault against society needs to be literally wiped out.

You'd think only 70k cases today would be headline news but nope.... nonewslikebadnew thefearsendinghelp notlonguntillthebbcgoespop whosgoingtopayyourwages 😂
