Darren Millar AM, who is leading on Covid-19 recovery for the Welsh Conservatives, said:
“As the number of cases and deaths from Covid-19 continues to plateau and fall it is prudent to begin to plan for an easing of restrictions.
“However, it is essential that this is done with great care and in concert with other parts of the UK in order to prevent confusion and protect people from unnecessary risk.
“We must learn from experiences elsewhere, listen to the science, and work carefully through the different approaches and how they could work in practice.
“No matter how we move forward it is already clear that we are going to need a huge upscaling of community testing to inform any decisions and monitor the impact of any loosening of the restrictions.
“As a start, the Welsh Government must act immediately ramp up testing capacity by adopting the UK and Scottish Government approach to an extension of testing to all key workers and their families.
“As a responsible opposition, we stand ready and willing to work with Welsh Ministers to achieve a solution which meets the needs of Wales."
