The new rules, which came into place in Torfaen at 6pm tonight mean:
- 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 outdoors with people they don’t live with.
- Residents will not be able to form, or be in, extended households (bubbles). This means meeting indoors with anyone you don’t live with is not allowed unless there is a good reason, such as providing care to a vulnerable person.
- All licensed premises have to stop serving alcohol at 10pm (this is already a Wales-wide rule).
- Everyone over 11 will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public places (this is already a Wales-wide rule). Some people are exempt from this rule.
