Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price has today called on the Welsh Government to implement a circuit breaker “without delay” to buy Wales time in the fight against the Covid crisis.
The Welsh Government has confirmed that planning is underway for a circuit breaker of this kind, but the Plaid Cymru Leader said that people needed “clarity and certainty” without delay in terms of what the next few weeks will bring.
Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price said:
“We need an urgent announcement from the First Minister confirming a circuit breaker in Wales and outlining what exactly it will mean for people’s lives and livelihoods.
“While it is welcome that planning is already underway, we cannot waste another day as figures rise to a record level.
“Regrettably, we must pull the emergency cord without delay. The time this buys us must be used to build up a resilient, Welsh-based test, trace, isolate and support system, with adequate financial security for businesses and individuals.
“Acting now is the only way of addressing a second wave and a prolonged period of lockdown”
