we are closely monitoring the wider situation in gwynedd and neighbouring authorities.ate have helped us to keep the spread of the virus in check. however, there is growing concern that these will not be enough to help see us through the winter because the virus is spreading so quickly. we could see coronavirus infections reach the same level as the spring peak in the next couple of weeks. this week, we expect to see tougher measures introduced by the uk government in the hardest—hit areas of england, and a new three tier intervention system to help it control the spread of the virus. this morning, the first minister and myself discussed these measures at a corporate meeting chaired by the prime minister. in scotland, the betty strict firebrick measures which include the closure of hospitality came into force over the weekend and the central belt —— in a cobra meeting. i do not want to scare people but i want people to understand we potentially face a very difficult few months ahead of us. very difficult few months ahead of us. i want to run through some of the figures
