Dr Eleri Davies, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “Welsh Government announced yesterday that people who cannot work from home will be able to access free lateral flow self-test kits from tomorrow, Friday.

“The rapid coronavirus tests will be available from local test sites across Wales.

“Welsh Government also announced yesterday that, following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, that people over 16 who live with individuals with severely weakened immune systems should be offered Covid-19 vaccinations as a priority.

“The easing of restrictions following the declining number of positive cases is welcome, we would remind the general public that Coronavirus is still circulating in our communities and a large number of people have not been fully vaccinated.

"It is therefore vital that people observe social distancing, where face coverings when in indoor spaces, and wash hands regularly. These actions will help to prevent transmission of the virus.

“As schools return please do not send your child to school if they are unwell, even if you are not sure if they have coronavirus.

“When you take your child to school, always keep your distance from other parents, wear a face covering, and don’t stay around and chat. Please don’t invite other children or their parents to your home to play or stay indoors, even if they are in the same bubble at school.

"We need to continue to limit the numbers of people we meet socially to minimise spread of the virus.

“Welsh Government restrictions state that you should not go into any other household or mix indoors with other people who you don’t live with. Currently a maximum of six people from two households can meet outdoors, including in private gardens.

“Please continue to work from home if at all possible.

“This week The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency and JCVI provided an update on the Oxford AstraZenca vaccine following reports of an extremely rare and specific type of blood clot following vaccination.

“The AstraZeneca vaccine remains safe and effective and has already saved thousands of lives. Those who have received a first dose of the vaccine, should continue to receive a second dose.

“The risk benefit remains strongly in favour of vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine for those aged 30 and over, and those aged under 30 who have underlying health conditions which puts them at higher risk of severe outcomes from coronavirus infection. However, adults aged 18 to 29 years old who do not have underlying health conditions will now be offered an alternative vaccine.”
