Speaking at a press conference where he announced an end to mask wearing in shops and compulsory Covid isolation, First Minster Mark Drakeford admitted that free LFTs could be a thing of the past soon. Since they were introduced lateral flows have enabled people to quickly check if they are likely to have Covid thereby reducing the long delays that were associated with PCR tests.
