First Minister: “I'm very familiar with a long list of activities that people write to us about, why not tennis, why not golf, why not fishing, why not pigeon racing, it's a long list.”
First Minister: “If we can have a successful return to school as I hope we will, then beyond that I am very keen indeed to allow those young people to do more in the outdoors in the way that was possible earlier last year.”
First Minister: “Our top priority for the moment is getting children back into school, we will have to carefully observe the evidence of what that does to the transmission of the disease”
On kids being permitted to go for a kick about in the park:
First Minister: “I'm very keen to be able to allow children particularly to resume outdoor exercise and activity.”

First Minister: “The next six weeks our priorities will continue to be children and whether it's possible to reopen some non essential retail. If there is any prospect of even a modest resumption in the tourism industry, that will be our plan over the [six] weeks to come.”
The next three-week review of the regulations will also consider the restrictions around non-essential retail and close contact services.
First Minister: “As more people are living and working in care homes with the vaccine having been delivered, we will look again at that most difficult and challenging of issues, how to allow more visits in care homes to take place, provided it can be done safely”
First Minister: “Next week we will change the law to allow licensed wedding venues such as visitor attractions and hotels to reopen, but only for the purpose of performing weddings, and civil partnerships. ”
First Minister: “Sport Wales will now make arrangements for more of our talented athletes [elite] to be able to resume training and playing.”
First Minister: “From tomorrow we will change the rules to allow up to four people from two different households to exercise outdoors together. But this does not mean that it is permissible for people to drive somewhere to exercise, and it does mean exercise, not socialising.”
First Minister: “The overarching stay at home measures will need to remain in place for a further three weeks. But we can make some further very modest changes to the regulations, as we take the first cautious steps to relax a number of the strictest lockdown restrictions.”
First Minister: “I said at the end of the last three week review in January, that if we did have headroom, we would use it to get the youngest children back into school, and back into face to face learning from next week.”
First Minister: “Latest figures show that almost 840,000 people in Wales have already had their first dose. And that's equivalent to a full third of the adult population of Wales. This week we started offering people appointments for the second dose and more than 25,000 people”
