In response to the change in rules around face coveringsPlaid Cymru Leader Adam Price said,
“Plaid Cymru has been calling for months for mandatory face coverings in shops and indoor settings so it is very welcome that the Welsh Government has now changed its mind on this.
“There are still however issues around their use in other high risk settings that must be addressed. In schools at the moment it’s down to individual local authorities and school headteachers to decide on face coverings, but to be consistent there should be a mandatory policy throughout Wales.”
