"We need everyone’s help to bring coronavirus under control. "It’s always a difficult decision to introduce restrictions but coronavirus has not gone away – it is still circulating in communities across Wales and, as we are seeing in parts of south Wales, small clusters can quickly cause real issues in local communities. We need to take action to control and, ultimately, reduce its spread and protect people’s health. We are seeing evidence of coronavirus spreading. "In many cases, this is linked to people socialising indoors without social distancing. Mr Gething, said: "Following the decision to place additional coronavirus restrictions in place in Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taf, we have seen a worrying and rapid rise in cases in four other south Wales council areas – Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Newport. They will not be able to form, or be in, extended households.Īll licensed premises will have to close at 11pm.Įveryone aged over 11 will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public areas – as is the case across Wales.Īccording to the Welsh Government the new local restrictions will be kept under regular review and will be enforced by local authorities and the police.
