Not to mention the Tourist Tax for English visitors to Wales:

//Mr Gethring was asked directly on BBC Radio 4's Today program if someone from Bristol who works in Cardiff could travel to Wales for work if they contract Covid once the self-isolation rules in England come to an end, and he replied: “No. I think you’d be in breach of the law here.”//
Good luck to them with that. The simplest way for Bristolians to avoid falling foul of the continuing Welsh restrictions is to simply desist from testing (which is what nobody should now be routinely doing anyway).
Why not? Well, depending on which studies you take note of, every day there are a huge number of people infected. Some studies suggest as many as 200,000 people a day over recent weeks have seen infection. The vast majority of these are mild infections, many of them asymptomatic. They are not confirmed by testing, are not officially recorded anywhere and so require no isolation – and that’s leaving aside those who have tested positive but who do not isolate. So there are many hundreds of thousands of people – in all four nations - roaming around whilst infected with Covid. Meanwhile the Welsh government is continuing with the pretence that their measures will stop the spread of the virus and are threatening to impose their ridiculous restrictions on the few people who have to cross the border from England.
At some point virtually everybody will be exposed to the virus – it is unavoidable. To deceive people otherwise is dishonest and to impose restrictions in furtherance of a strategy aimed at preventing the inevitable is not only immoral it is simply stupid.
The crux of the situation now is an expectation that people who have no symptoms of a disease are required to take precautions against passing it on, just in case they have it anyway and don't know it. So people, merely by living their normal lives, are potential killers and so have to take steps to mitigate that possibility. That's not something anyone – least of all governments - should subscribe to.

And neither are those of Wales (see above).
