Coronavirus lockdown exit plan for Wales 'puts health first'

A cautious route out of lockdown measures in Wales is "putting people's health first", the first minister has said.
Mark Drakeford unveiled a plan for easing restrictions on daily life that have been in place for more than seven weeks.
But there are no dates provided for when changes could be made.
"All our decisions will be based on the latest scientific advice," said Mr Drakeford.
"We will act carefully and cautiously, in partnership with people, in a way that is right for Wales. And we will put people's health first," he added.
But Welsh Conservatives leader Paul Davies described it as "a roadmap to a cul-de-sac, not a roadmap to recovery", and a "hopeless plan".
"We need to begin to unlock society but Mark Drakeford seems to have lost his keys," he said.
There has been pressure from some quarters for a faster easing of the lockdown in a bid to restart the economy.
In England, a similar plan includes suggested timetables.
In Wales, the government is using a traffic-light system for phased reductions in the lockdown.
Coronavirus 'with us for a long time to come'
Mr Drakeford stressed the country was only now moving "carefully and cautiously" into the first red zone, what he called the "first steps on our recovering journey".
Providing the virus remained under control, Wales would move to the amber zone which would see more signs of returning to normal.
The "green zone" would come when the country was "still on top of the virus".
There life would begin to look more like it was before coronavirus began "but not identical to it," warned Mr Drakeford.
He said until a vaccine or effective treatment was found, coronavirus would be "with us for a long time to come."
On schools, Mr Drakeford said the "ambition" was to get some children "back into school before the summer break".
The UK government intends schools in England to re-open to more pupils before the holiday, but there is no such timetable in the Welsh Government's roadmap.
"We would like to be able to bring some further children back into school before the summer holidays, and my colleague Kirsty Williams will provide more detail about how we plan to go about that this afternoon."
Mr Drakeford said it would be "self-policing" rather than police officers enforcing rules which gets Wales through the crisis - as officers' jobs will become harder if different sectors move out of restrictions at different times.
The people of Wales "need hope" in terms of how restrictions are lifted, he said, and that his plan provides "more detail than we've ever had before".
Analysis from Felicity Evans, BBC Wales political editor
The theme throughout this Welsh Government document is caution - a slow and careful unfolding of the lockdown which will require difficult choices about priorities.
It says an effective system of track and trace is essential as is the continued compliance of the general public.
The document warns the capacity of the Welsh Government to put robust systems in place will dictate the timetable.
A traffic lights system of red, amber and green gives lists of likely easements at different stages - but that depends on the headroom offered by the R rate, indicating the disease's ability to spread, which will remain the focus.
While easements are complicated and interlinked, it will be necessary to choose between them and those which offer the greatest relief for general quality of life will be prioritised.
But the message is clear that "normal life" could be years away.
The general public are invited to share their views on the way forward.
