(You can view an archive here). Wrexham MS Lesley Griffiths writes… The vast majority of us were more than happy to see the back of 2020 but, regretfully, the beginning of 2021 has proved to be equally challenging. The new, highly infectious variant of coronavirus has quickly seized a firm foothold in our region and while there is no evidence to suggest the new strain causes more serious illness, it has added to the enormous pressure facing our NHS. Due to the rising number of cases, Wales was the first country to re-enter lockdown on 20 December. Although the move was not universally welcomed, I believe most will now agree it was the right course of action. The lockdown will last at least six weeks, with the regulations due to be reviewed again on 29 January. I am grateful to the majority of residents staying at home and following the guidelines but everyone has a part to play. We are all weary of the restrictions but if we all do our bit, we can help keep Wrexham safe, help save lives and protect the NHS.
