Thank you very much, Llywydd. I move the motions before us this afternoon. The coronavirus control plan was published on 14 December 2020. It notes four alert levels that correspond to risk levels, including the necessary measures at each alert level to control the spread of the virus. The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 came into force on 20 December last year. These put in place the legislative framework for the alert levels and placed Wales at alert level 4, the highest level of restrictions.

In March, a new plan to control coronavirus was drawn up, which was updated to take into account the vaccination programme and the Kent variant. This plan noted how we would move down through the alert levels cautiously, step by step, and would take cautious steps in relaxing restrictions.
