Wales Covid rules will be reviewed weekly – Drakefordon December 10, 2021 at 12:34 pm

Wales’ coronavirus rules will now be reviewed weekly instead of every three weeks in response to the Omicron variant of coronavirus.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said ministers will be monitoring the situation closely if they need to put in place “additional protections”.

The change means there would be two weekly reviews in the run-up to Christmas Day.

He said Wales will remain at “alert level zero” for the next week.

It also extended guidance on mask wearing to pubs and restaurants, when people are not eating.
