Wales not ruling out local coronavirus restrictions following firebreak lockdown
People shopping in Cardiff, as restrictions are relaxed following a two-week "firebreak" lockdown across Wales

THE Welsh government said that it had not ruled out imposing new local restrictions after Wales’s 17-day “firebreak lockdown” ended today.

First Minister Mark Drakeford told a Cardiff press conference that a new national set of rules were in place — but ministers had access to a “menu of actions that could be taken at a local level if necessary.”

From today, people can travel anywhere within Wales, two households can form a support bubble, groups of 15 people can meet indoors, groups of 30 people can meet outdoors and schools and businesses that shut during the firebreak can reopen.
