Following the end of the 17-day shutdown of firebreaks on Monday, groups of up to four people can now meet in cafes, pubs and restaurants, while shops, gyms, hair salons and places of worship have also been allowed to reopen. Here are the full details of the new restrictions.
Supermarkets can re-sell non-essential items, while people can only meet indoors with members of another household if they have come together to form a “bubble.”
The 10pm curfew on alcohol sales will continue, and people will need to prove their address at bars due to concerns that people in England could breach the country’s closing rules and travel to Wales for a drink .
There are no restrictions on traveling within Wales, but people cannot travel outside the country unless they have a reasonable excuse, such as work.
Do you understand the new blocking rules for Wales? Let us know in the survey below:
Dr Eleri Davies, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus Outbreak Response at Public Health Wales, said: “Public Health Wales strongly encourages the public to take personal responsibility for their actions and ensure that we are all doing everything possible to limit transmission of coronavirus.
“As we approach the first weekend since the firewall restrictions were lifted, we remind everyone that the coronavirus is still active in our communities and therefore this does not mean a return to normalcy.
“We ask the public to observe the new regulations and to limit their contact with other people as much as possible so that we all work together to reduce the number of positive cases.
“This means staying out of other people’s homes, limiting the time and number of people you meet, maintaining social distancing and hand hygiene, working from home if you can, and isolating yourself if you show coronavirus symptoms or are asked to do so. . do so using contact markers.
“It is extremely important that we only make essential trips, maintain strict social distancing from those with whom we do not live together, and reduce the number of people we meet. All of these actions will help break the chains of transmission, reduce the spread of the virus, and keep people safe.
“We understand that people will want to continue their Christmas shopping now that the firewall is over, so we suggest that you try to visit stores outside of peak hours, to always maintain social distancing and cover your face if you can. Options like “click and collect” or online shopping can also be something to consider.
“This Saturday is Diwali, a festival that is celebrated by large numbers of people of India and of Indian heritage. We ask those who are celebrating to do so safely, within their own home, and to remember the regulations if they go out. If you choose to use fireworks, be careful and follow the fireworks code to avoid injury. We wish everyone to celebrate a happy Diwali. “
