Wales extends coronavirus lockdown

The coronavirus lockdown in Wales will be extended for a further three weeks, with minor adjustments proposed but maximum caution maintained to ensure the virus does not spread. The First Minister has also announced Wales intends to make a series of small adjustments to the regulations, including:

  • 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.

There are no plans to re-open schools from 1 June 2020.
