Question
Will the Minister confirm whether there is any quantitative threshold at which Welsh Government will decide that COVID passes are no longer necessary?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services
As I outlined in the reply to WQ83741 and WQ83914, use of the covid pass will be assessed at regular intervals as part of the 21 day reviews.
We have published the criteria for assessing the need for protections in our Coronavirus Control Plans. The most recent version – the Coronavirus control plan: autumn and winter 2021 update – was published in 8 October 2021. It is available here: https://gov.wales/coronavirus-control-plan-autumn-and-winter-2021-update
This update to the Coronavirus Control Plan sets out the basket of indicators that are used to assess the current state of the epidemic in Wales (described in Annex A). These indicators, together with local intelligence and expertise, help inform decisions on whether protections need to be strengthened or can be relaxed.
