Welsh Government confirms phased move to Alert Level 1

The Welsh Government has confirmed that Wales will start the phased move into Alert Level 1 from Monday 7 June 2021. This will mean that:

Up to 30 people can meet outdoors, including in private gardens, outdoor hospitality and public places

Larger outdoor organised gatherings and events, such as concerts, football matches and sporting activities, like organised running groups can go ahead for up to 4,000 people standing and 10,000 people seated. All organisers planning events and activities must undertake a full risk assessment and put in place measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, including social distancing

The Welsh Government will consider further changes to the regulations on indoor activity later in the month, ahead of 21 June 2021, to determine whether indoor events can restart if public health conditions allow. These include:

Rule of six for meeting indoors in private homes and holiday accommodation.

Increased numbers for indoor organised gatherings and indoor events
