Yes he was just on 5 live - the "firebreak" will be over, but I'd imagine there will still be some restrictions.
Shops will open up though I'm sure.

There was a guy on before him saying that these things would be more effective if the whole country were doing the same thing, which they put to Mark Drakeford.

His response was quite telling:

They received advice to go into a lockdown in a COBRA meeting - he repeatedly asked for another COBRA meeting to discuss and coordinate a lockdown, but was repeatedly denied, so they had to make the decision alone.

When we went into the lockdown it was promised to be 17 days, and people have put up with very severe restrictions on the understanding that it would be a short time. So they aren't going to go back on their word and extend it.

I tkink that's fair enough really.
