The new measures will come into force at 6pm on Tuesday 22 September 2020, to protect people’s health and control the spread of the virus in the four local authority areas.
The new restrictions will apply to everyone living in Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Newport:
- people will not be allowed to enter or leave these areas without a reasonable excuse, such as travel for work or education
- people will only be able to meet people they don’t live with outdoors for the time being, they will not be able to form, or be in, extended households
- all licensed premises will have to close at 11pm
- everyone over 11 will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public areas – as is the case across wales
From 6pm on Tuesday 22 September, the requirement for all licensed premises to close at 11pm will also be extended to Caerphilly borough.
