Plaid calls for fix to test, trace, support and isolate system to help meet zero-Covid goal and avoid cyclical lockdowns
Responding to Lee Waters MS on BBC Radio Wales Sunday Supplement today, who said “it’s likely we’re going to need to have another fire break in January or February”, Plaid Cymru Shadow Health Minister, Rhun ap Iorwerth MS said,
“It is concerning to hear talk of plans for future firebreaks at the start of this reset. If the Welsh Government puts effective measures in place over the next fortnight, a new strategy for the months ahead, it should be aiming to avoid having to return to these tight nation-wide restrictions.
“A continuous cycle of locking and unlocking is devastating for business and individuals. Ministers must resolve the issues within the test, trace, support and isolate system to enable the newly adopted zero-Covid strategy to be successfully implemented.”
