Llywydd, over the last eight weeks, the response from people across Wales has been outstanding. Our collective efforts have helped slow the spread of the virus and have helped the NHS to prepare and to respond. If, as a result of these efforts, the rate of infection continues to decline, a greater range of choices for unlocking restrictions will open up.

Our framework document of three weeks ago set out how we intend to make decisions about easing the stay-at-home restrictions. Last Friday's document takes us further. Our road map is based on a traffic-lights system. It sets out a series of changes that potentially could be made in a number of areas, including seeing friends and family, going back to work, shopping and reopening public services.

People are at the heart of our thinking. We know just how much everyone wants to see family and friends, and this is a key consideration for us. This isn't just a plan to get people back to work, important as that is, it is a plan for people too.

This road map doesn't signal dates, because changes will be made when the scientific and medical advice tells us that it is safe to do so, but it does show how we are moving carefully and cautiously into the red zone—the first steps on our journey of recovery. We will monitor the impacts of those steps really carefully, and, provided the virus remains under control, we will move towards the amber zone. In amber, there will be more signs of something like normality, and if our monitoring shows that we are still on top of the virus, we can begin the move into the green zone. In the green zone, life begins to look more like it was before coronavirus began, but not identical to it, because until we find a vaccine or effective treatment, coronavirus is with us for a long time to come.

Now, some things have already begun to unlock. Shops are opening for click and collect, recycling centres are beginning to reopen, and planning is taking place to see if library services can be resumed as well. Garden centres are opening, of course, with social distancing arrangements in place. Education Minister Kirsty Williams has set out her approach to schools, and more detail will be provided for other sectors as we work together with our partners in the trade unions, in businesses and in the wider public sector.

Llywydd, it is absolutely right that we debate our different perspectives on this, the most pressing set of circumstances we have faced since the establishment of devolution. But I do believe that, in this crisis, people in Wales look to all of us to come together where we can and to share a sense of our common interests. In that spirit, I am very pleased that the Government can support all but one of the amendments laid to today's motion. Llywydd, I'll return to all amendments in replying to the debate, but I do want to thank those parties who have laid them for the constructive spirit in which they have been drawn up, and for the positive contribution that they make to this debate.

Last week, the Government also published our test, trace and protect plan, which will be vital as we move out of lockdown. Any move towards resumption of more normal activities must go hand in hand with a viable plan for tracking and identifying any new cases and those hotspots as they may emerge. Last Friday's document is based similarly on the latest scientific advice. We will act carefully and cautiously in partnership with people, in a way that is right for Wales. That will always mean putting people's health first. 

Now, Llywydd, I have always said that we want to move together across the United Kingdom, because that is the best way forward for all of us. On Sunday, I met with Michael Gove, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and my Scottish and Northern Irish counterparts, to discuss issues around quarantining people from abroad. Yesterday, I met my devolved colleagues and the Mayor of London, again to continue our discussion, and a further meeting has been arranged between the devolved Governments and the UK Government for later this week. We are engaging actively with other administrations throughout this crisis, but we will, of course, make our decisions and exercise our responsibilities in the interests of Wales. 

Llywydd, I do need to stress that the virus remains a threat and will continue to be so even as we take steps towards greater normality. There is no risk-free future. The 2m social distancing rule remains in place, and we must all take those basic public health precautions, washing our hands carefully and often, for example. Travel should only be local, and it should only be essential. All of this is in place simply to go on reducing the risk of spreading coronavirus. In our two documents, we have set out a pathway towards making those vital decisions. We are required by law to review legislation and remove restrictions when they are no longer justified. There are choices to be made at every point in this path. The interests of all sections of our society need to be balanced, and this Government will always have particular regard for those who struggle under the disproportionate burden of disadvantage.

Now, we will have to make those decisions on a 21-day pattern, and we are now halfway through the latest three-week cycle. We will continue to be guided by the scientific advice and the advice of our chief medical officer, and those decisions will continue to be informed by the goals and the ways of working enshrined in the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, put on the statute book by this Senedd.

Llywydd, there are those who urge relaxation of measures without regard to the consequences of doing so. This is the very opposite of the approach we are taking in Wales, and as set out in our road map. The Welsh Government will not take chances, and we will not act on whims. My message is one of continued solidarity in the face of this great threat to lives and to society—a solidarity demonstrated so steadfastly by individuals and communities right across Wales. We have all played our part, and together we can continue to protect one another and to prepare to unlock and to renew our nation. Diolch yn fawr.
