This is the end of our live coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in Wales for Monday.
We will back with all the latest developments on Tuesday morning.
"At a desk in Downing Street, the prime minister made an announcement that has no comparison in our recent history, instructing everyone in the country to close the doors, stay inside to save lives."
Read BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg's analysis of tonight's momentous announcement.
People must abide by the new rules set out by the Prime Minister because "lives are stake", the Welsh Conservative Senedd leader has said.
“The Prime Minister’s message couldn’t be clearer," Paul Davies said in a statement.
"We are responsible for not just our own safety, but for everyone else’s safety as well.
“This is because the more people that fall ill, then the harder it is for NHS Wales to cope, and therefore we must slow the spread of the disease so that fewer people are sick at any one time.
“Lives are at stake, and I urge you to do the right thing. As Boris Johnson said, these rules will be reviewed in three weeks, so we must all abide by them in order to control this pandemic.”
The former Welsh secretary urges people to stay home unless absolutely necessary.

"This isn't a national holiday. This is a national emergency," says Plaid Cymru.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has echoed Boris Johnson's statement, saying the Welsh Government now has to "introduce more, even tighter measures".
“From now on, all high street shops will be closed, expect those selling food, pharmacies, banks and post offices," he said.
“Local NHS services, including your GP, will continue to be open.
"All social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, as well as gatherings of more than two people in public should not take place. Funerals will continue to be held but only with close family present.
“We’re asking everyone to stay at home – please only go out once a day to shop for basic food if you have to and to exercise close to home.
“Everyone should now also work from home, if you can.
“Now these are really big changes for us all. We are making them because of the speed the virus is continuing to spread.
“Please help us protect you and to save lives. Together, we can do this.”
