Let me quote the First Minister's words from earlier this afternoon, answering a question, actually, about the ambulance service. He said,

'we have some of the highest numbers of people falling ill with the virus of any time in the whole of the pandemic. Only a matter of weeks ago, we managed to reduce the number of people in our hospital beds suffering from coronavirus down to around 700. It went above 1,400 yesterday'— confirmed by the Minister here now—

'and that number has continued to rise.'

He called it 

'a very challenging context, and a context that has been deteriorating'.

So, in that challenging context, Welsh Government has decided to remove most of the very modest, actually, but important protective measures still in place. And when you consider face coverings in particular, they're just not disruptive at all, are they? Why remove mandation in retail and transport now?

And if there are some signs—hopefully there are—that, in Wales as a whole, cases are beginning to stabilise, we can be pretty sure that in some parts of Wales, the west in particular, including Ynys Môn, we haven't reached the peak yet, because that's been the pattern of the spread of this virus throughout. It is an east-west movement. That's how pandemics work. Why expose people more to the virus before we know that we are over this current peak?
