Covid: Wales moves to tightest rules after Christmas

Wales will move to alert level four from 28 December, First Minister Mark Drakeford has said.

Speaking at the Welsh Government's news conference on Wednesday, Mr Drakeford also announced non-essential shops must shut from Christmas Eve.

All hospitality businesses will have to close from 18:00 on Christmas Day.

Level four rules are those which most resemble lockdown or a firebreak, but schools and childcare settings remain open.
