Andrew RT Davies MS – the Shadow Health Minister – has welcomed the decision by the First Minister, which will be announced at today’s Covid briefing, that single people in locked-down areas can form a bubble with people from one other household.
Welsh Conservatives have led the call for changes to these rules, and as recently as Monday, Mr Davies said that he hoped the First Minister would do:
“… the humane thing, the compassionate thing, and look at ways of helping to identify and then ease the stresses and isolation of people on their own during lockdown”.
He added:
“The lockdowns have been a long haul, and we’re not through it yet, so while I welcome this decision, the importance of longer-term solutions to the issue of isolation and the effect it can have on a person’s mental health cannot be overestimated.”
