Covid inquiry: Welsh government pub restrictions criticised

“Whether you leave the aisles open or you leave them shut really doesn’t matter.”

During day four of the Covid inquiry in Wales, Dr Roland Salmon criticised the Welsh government's decision to restrict access to certain supermarket aisles and prevent pubs from selling alcohol as part of its pandemic strategy.

The ex-Public Health Wales communicable diseases director described the move as an “overly enduring legacy of the chapel heritage”.
