QNR – in the Senedd on 24 June 2020.
As the number of coronavirus cases declines, so the reliability of the R number decreases, particularly at a lower geographical level. Within south-east Wales the number of confirmed cases per day has fallen from over 200 in early April to 30 a day last week.
We recognise this is a difficult time for the employees and their families, many of whom have been with the Laura Ashley company for very many years in mid Wales. We will provide all available support to those affected individuals in Wales, through the Working Wales and ReAct programmes.
The Welsh Government keeps all the restrictions, including the requirement to stay local, under constant review. Given the improving picture, Ministers will lift the stay local requirement on 6 July, if the conditions permit.
