Strengthened measures to keep Wales safe as omicron strikes
New measures will be introduced from 6am on Boxing Day to help keep Wales safe.
The measures are a revised version of alert level two to respond to the new omicron variant and are designed to help keep businesses open and trading and protect customers and staff.
The regulations bring back protections in hospitality businesses, including licensed premises, and in cinemas and theatres when they re-open after the festive period.
Strengthened guidance will be issued to help people stay safe in their own homes and when meeting others.
£120m will be available for nightclubs, retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses affected by the move to alert level two – double the new £60m package announced last week.
The Economy Minister will announce further details tomorrow (23 December).
