Covid-19: Welsh Government update - BBC News
Details and reaction to a briefing by Health Minister Vaughan Gething.
Choices made by the public will influence how many people die of Covid over the Christmas period, according to Health Minister Vaughan Gething.

He confirmed ministers were considering whether any new restrictions would be needed after relaxation for a five-day window allowing family get-togethers over the holidays.

“We’re in very odd position of a much more contested environment, and rising harm being seen,” said Mr Gething, referring to new Covid infections.

“We know that this is much more about the choices we’re making about who we see, how long we see them for.

“We’re actively considering each day whether the measures we have are the right ones in place or not.

"We’re committed to review the regulations in the next week and a half or so and we will then have to consider what we do... we’re actively considering what we are going to need to do, what we may need to do after the Christmas period.

“So, if we’re going to be able to get through not just to the end of the year but into the next year with the minimum amount of harm, it’s not just the choices we make in government, it’s the choices each of us make about how we’re living our lives that will determine how many of us are here in the New Year and beyond.”
