What consideration has the Welsh Government given to allow RNLI staff members that provide operationally essential support to lifeboat stations around the Welsh Coast to be permitted to have a rapid result COVID-19 test?
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 05/01/2021
I am pleased to acknowledge the vitally important work the RNLI carries out. Members of the RNLI are considered to be key public service workers and some crews are accessing tests via our Community Testing Units. We are currently piloting and rolling out user cases for rapid tests and this work includes consideration of the needs of critical workers that are providing essential services.
