He says people need to  treat it like any other disease and take as much caution around other people as you would if you had any other illness. &#8220;If you catch the measles you don&#8217;t go to work with it, you don&#8217;t go out and about with it, and there&#8217;s no law needed for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>12:38<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slow return to normal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The First Minister says we are making up ground in the path to normality. The lifting of these restrictions are another sign of that. Drakeford says that while there are 1,400 beds occupied in Wales, fewer than 20% are there because of coronavirus alone. Eight out of 10 are there for other things but have coronavirus as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>12:35<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Just because it is no longer law does not mean it is not important.&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key takeaway from the First Minister&#8217;s address, with rising pressures on the NHS. Although the numbers of those dying is relatively low compared to the level of infection &#8220;there is no denying it has an impact on the ability of the system to do what we want it to do&#8221;.
