Mark Drakford has outlined his plan for dealing with Covid over the long term as he announced the end of all lockdown restrictions in Wales. It means masks no longer need to be worn in healthcare settings.
After more than two years of living with coronavirus regulations, these final restrictions will expire on Monday, May 30, when the requirement to wear a face covering in health and care settings ends. But Mr Drakeford said the Welsh Government will continue to recommend people take simple steps to protect their health.
The First Minister also said that there would continue to be restrictions on visits to healthcare settings as clinical managers had to assess the risk in every situation and protect their patients.
