Cllr Rob James, Opposition Leader on Carmarthenshire Council, said “It is welcomed news that the rate of transmission for Coronavirus has reduced by a third since the health protection zone has been introduced two weeks ago. I have seen as a Councillor in Llanelli town that local residents have been adhering to the restrictions, and the data backs this up.
“We have all had to make sacrifices in the last fortnight in Llanelli to support the effort to reduce the rate of infection and I want to thank local residents for supporting these vital measures.
“I am concerned, however, that the rate of infection across the rest of the County appears to be on the rise now. We must continued to work collectively to drive down the rate of infection in Llanelli, whilst tackling the rise of cases in the rest of the county.”
