To tackle the spread of coronavirus, the Welsh Government introduced regulations in March, which impose strict restrictions on gatherings, the movement of people and the operation of businesses, including closures, in Wales.
They also impose requirements on businesses that are open to take all reasonable measures to ensure physical distancing between people.
The latest evidence from the UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and the advice of the Chief Medical Officer for Wales says, it is still too early for a significant lifting of requirements or restrictions.
Current advice includes:
- people are being asked to continue working from home if they are able to do so
- wherever you can you should stay at home
- if you need to leave home for work, exercise or shopping, you should stay local and stay alert
- if you go out, stay local and stay safe
Small changes to the regulations from Monday 11 May 2020 include:
- allowing people to exercise more than once a day, but people should stay local, this means any exercise should start and end at home and not involve going a significant distance from home
- enabling local authorities to begin the process of planning how to safely reopen libraries and municipal recycling centres
- allowing garden centres to open provided they comply with the physical distancing duty
