Welsh Conservatives call on First Minister to review the two-metre rule
The First Minister is being urged to relax the two-metre rule following news that a one-metre rule will be introduced from tomorrow. Labour has said it could, in some circumstances, support the reduction.
Darren Millar MS the Welsh Conservative Shadow Covid Recovery Minister, said:
“The relaxation of social distancing rules from two metres to one metre would be a significant gamechanger for us here in Wales.
“Countless businesses, transport operators, and other enterprises across the country are simply not viable with a two-metre social distance rule, but a one-metre rule would throw them a lifeline.
“It seems to be perfectly safe and sensible to relax the rule while still protecting lives and livelihoods, so I urge the Welsh Government to take stock of the evidence and review the two-metre rule in Wales as soon as possible
