Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. The Minister, in addressing the issues in Blaenau Gwent, singled out pubs and care homes as part of the cause of the outbreak in the borough. I was wondering if he could make any further comment on that and describe why or how the data explains that care homes and pubs have led to the issues that we're experiencing in Blaenau Gwent, and whether he intends to take any specific action to deal with issues around pubs and care homes because of that. There is some concern in the borough that we have these additional restrictions there, whilst pubs remain open. Does the Minister believe that there need to be additional powers taken or provided to local government to enable the public houses to be subject to further and more significant regulation if they are to remain open?

I'd be grateful if the Minister could outline why he believes that shielding is not necessary in these areas. There are a number of people who've been shielding for some months this year already who feel somewhat vulnerable now that we're under additional regulations, but there is no requirement for them to shield at the moment. I'd be interested to understand the Government's thinking on that. 

There is a requirement—
