Thank you to Leanne Wood for raising both of those issues. On the first, of course, we have recently announced the third phase of the economic resilience fund. The Minister will confirm later on today that the eligibility criteria for phase 3 will be available on the website of Business Wales later on today. So, I would certainly encourage businesses within the Rhondda, and beyond, to look to that, specifically I think for hospitality, because I know the Minister has been at pains to ensure that hospitality businesses are prioritised within that support, recognising the difficulties that they're experiencing.

We do publish very regular updates on testing. I know that the Minister for health has published an update on testing just today. I know that he'll be keen to continue to provide those regular updates in the period ahead.
