Thank you for the statement from the Minister. For those who have been keeping an eye on the spread of the virus and the statistics shared with us, unfortunately, today's statement will come as no surprise, perhaps. But, certainly, I feel for those who live within these newly identified areas, in Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham, which are being added to the list of counties under additional restrictions. They are very harsh restrictions that do remove freedoms, and we do hope that this will apply for only a brief period. The message for my constituency in Anglesey, and Gwynedd and other parts of Wales that aren't under restrictions, is that the risk is there. If the figures do rise, and if steps aren't taken by Government and the local population to safeguard themselves, they could be next, as it were. 

The Minister will be fully aware that I support taking action as locally as possible. Perhaps he could tell us, in the context of north Wales particularly, how we can have confidence that rural Denbighshire, for example, perhaps doesn't need to face these restrictions. Why take action at a local authority level in this way? I would appeal that they should share that data, as they do in England, which would identify the cases from one area to another in very great detail.

Also, of course, as more areas are included, we are including more and more of the population, and my concern is increasing in terms of the impact on people's well-being and mental health, particularly people living alone. Is the Minister forming any thoughts on a strategy that could reach out to those people who are under the greatest threat of suffering those pressures in terms of mental health and so on? I would be interested to hear how the Government is thinking along those lines.
