Relaxation of COVID restrictions in Wales from 12 April 2021

From Monday 12 April 2021, the following relaxations can go ahead:

  • The full return of children to schools for face-to-face education, all post-16 learners will return to further education and training centres, and university campus’ will be able to open for blended face-to-face/online learning for all students.
  • All remaining shops can reopen, completing the phased reopening of non-essential retail.
  • All remaining close contact services can open, including mobile services.
  • Travel restrictions on traveling into and out of Wales will be lifted. However, restrictions on travel to countries outside the Common Travel Area without a reasonable excuse, remain in place. The Common Travel Area means the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland.
  • Viewings at wedding venues can resume by appointment.

The Welsh Government is also signalling further changes it aims to confirm at the 22 April 2021 review, subject to public health conditions and final confirmation by Ministers, which would see outdoor attractions and outdoor hospitality reopen, including at cafes, pubs and restaurants on Monday 26 April 2021.
