Good afternoon.

Today I am joined by my good friend and colleague Samantha Sacramento, the Minister for Civil Contingencies who has been working non-stop since this crisis began.

She has been locked away in the bunker with her team ensuring that Gibraltar can be in the best possible place.

I would like to start today by thanking you all for taking the time to listen to our press conferences over the many weeks.

As we approach our Lockout Phase 2 which starts on Monday our daily conferences will come to an end.

We will be able to see our family and friends in gatherings of up to 12 people.

We will be able to start to regain part of our lives back.
