Now, the COVID climate has changed a great deal just in the last few days, and the situation is very grave indeed now. There are over 2,000 new cases today, and the situation is very worrying in the Swansea Bay area, with high levels of cases in Neath Port Talbot and also here in Swansea, with the levels increasing quickly and at risk of going out of control, and many of them in schools. So, I would like to ask the Government: what in addition is the Government doing about this situation? How are they considering schools now, particularly as we move towards Christmas, given the increasing levels of cases linked to schools, with all or many pupils having to be sent home? There are 700 Swansea Bay health board staff who are away from work because of COVID.

And, of course, the medical opinion is that it's mixing with others in the home, on the street, in work, with friends and with strangers—that's what drives the increase in COVID. So, the fundamental advice hasn't changed: stay at home if you can, socially distance, wash your hands regularly, wear face coverings, and avoid mixing with others.
