Covid - 19 new 'firebreak' restrictions throughout Wales

Welsh Ministers have agreed a time limited 'firebreak' where restrictions come into force across Wales from Friday 23 October until Monday 9 November to coincide with half term and university reading weeks.

During the period, people in Wales are required to stay at home unless they have a reasonable excuse, certain businesses are required to close, and people must work from home if it is reasonable and practicable to do so. People resident outside Wales are not able to enter or remain in Wales without a reasonable excuse. Primary schools, special schools, education other than at school (EOTAS) provision and childcare services will remain open.
