Thanks to your efforts, coronavirus rates remain relatively low in Wales, and more and more people are being fully vaccinated every day.

This means we can move to Alert Level 0 from 6am Saturday 7 August.

Further details ⬇️

There will be no limit on the number of people you can meet indoors or outdoors, including in private homes, public places or at events.

The few remaining businesses who were still required to be closed, including nightclubs, will be able to reopen.

You will no longer legally have to wear masks in hospitality settings where food and drink is being served.

But we still encourage you to wear them in those settings where this is practical.

If you’re fully vaccinated or under 18, you’ll no longer need to isolate if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus.

You'll still need a test on days 2 and 8. And anyone who tests positive must isolate for 10 days.

Businesses, workplaces and places open to the public must take reasonable measures to minimise the risk of coronavirus.

They will also have more flexibility to tailor their coronavirus measures based on their risk assessment - this may mean less emphasis on physical distancing.

It is everything you have done, and the hard work of our vaccinators, that means we're able to lift restrictions further and see some normality.

But the virus is still with us and some important protections will remain in Wales.

You must isolate immediately and get a test if you have coronavirus symptoms. If you test positive you must isolate for 10 days.

You will still have to wear a mask in most indoor public places (including public transport, shops and healthcare settings).

Please - take up both doses of the vaccine. It offers us the best protection against this awful virus and we’re very proud of our world-leading vaccination programme here.

If you’re yet to take up the offer, please do so as soon as possible:
gov.wales/get-your-covid…

As we move away from legal restrictions, taking responsibility means we can get back to doing the things we've missed the most.

Diolch for respecting the restrictions and for saying yes to the vaccine.

You have helped to keep Wales safe.

@WelshGovernment

Please join me live at 12:30pm tomorrow on @WelshGovernment for more information about these changes.

Diolch i’ch ymdrechion chi, mae cyfraddau coronafeirws yn dal i fod yn gymharol isel yng Nghymru, ac mae mwy o bobl yn cael eu brechu’n llawn bob dydd.

Felly rydyn ni’n gallu symud i Lefel Rhybudd 0 o 6am ddydd Sadwrn 7 Awst.

Mwy o fanylion ⬇️

Ni fydd unrhyw gyfyngiad ar nifer y bobl y cewch gwrdd â nhw dan do nac yn yr awyr agored, gan gynnwys mewn cartrefi preifat, mannau cyhoeddus a digwyddiadau.

Bydd y nifer bach o fusnesau a oedd yn dal i orfod bod ar gau, gan gynnwys clybiau nôs, yn cael ailagor.

Ni fydd yn ofyniad cyfreithiol ichi wisgo masg mewn lleoliadau lletygarwch lle mae bwyd a diod yn cael eu gweini.

Ond rydyn ni’n dal i’ch annog i wisgo un yn y llefydd hynny pan fo’n ymarferol.

Thanks to your efforts, coronavirus rates remain relatively low in Wales, and more and more people are being fully vaccinated every day.

This means we can fully move to Alert Level 1 from Saturday 17 July.

Further details in the thread below ⬇️

From Saturday, up to six people can meet and organised indoor events can take place.

We will relax the restrictions around children’s residential activity centres and ice rinks will be able to reopen too.

Also from Saturday there will be no limit on the amount of people who can gather outdoors in Wales - and we will no longer have to social distance when outdoors.

We must stick to 6 people and keep our distance when indoors to reduce the risk.

Diolch i’ch ymdrechion chi, mae’r cyfraddau coronafeirws yn dal yn gymharol isel yng Nghymru. Mae mwy a mwy’n cael brechiad bob dydd.

Felly, gallwn symud i Lefel Rhybudd 1 ddydd Sadwrn 17 Gorffennaf.

Mwy o wybodaeth yn yr edefyn isod ⬇️

O ddydd Sadwrn gall hyd at 6 o bobl yn cael cwrdd, a bydd hawl i gynnal digwyddiadau dan do.

Hefyd, byddem yn llacio’r cyfyngiadau ar ganolfannau preswyl plant, a gall rinciau sglefrio iâ yn ailagor.

Hefyd o ddydd Sadwrn ni fydd cyfyngiad ar nifer y bobl sy’n cael dod at ei gilydd tu allan yng Nghymru - a fydd dim rhaid cadw pellter cymdeithasol yn yr awyr agored.

Ond, dan do, bydd rhaid aros yn griw o 6 a chadw pellter i leihau’r risg.

Cases of the Delta variant are spreading across Wales. In the space a few weeks, cases have been confirmed in all parts of the country.

We have reviewed all the evidence and will pause changes to the rules for 4 weeks.

More info in the thread below⬇️

The delta variant is now the most dominant form of the virus in Wales. But we still have the lowest coronavirus rates and the highest vaccination rates in the UK.

We will use the next 4 weeks to vaccinate even more people.

There will be no major changes over the next 4 weeks, but we'll be making some small changes to the current rules.

The number of people who can attend indoor weddings or civil partnership receptions or wakes, organised by a business will be determined by the size of the venue.

Mae achosion o'r amrywiolyn Delta yn lledaenu ledled Cymru. Dros ychydig o wythnosau, mae achosion wedi'u cadarnhau ym mhob rhan o'r wlad.

Rydym wedi adolygu'r holl dystiolaeth a byddwn yn oedi newidiadau i'r rheolau am bedair wythnos. Mwy o wybodaeth isod⬇️

Yr amrywiolyn delta yw'r amrywiad amlycaf o'r firws yng Nghymru bellach. Er hyn, mae gennym y cyfraddau coronafirws isaf a'r cyfraddau brechu uchaf yn y DU.

Byddwn yn defnyddio'r pedair wythnos nesaf i frechu hyd yn oed mwy o bobl.

Ni fydd unrhyw newidiadau mawr dros y 4 wythnos nesaf, ond byddwn yn gwneud man newidiadau i'r rheolau presennol.

Bydd nifer pobl gall fynychu dderbyniadau priodas a phartneriaeth sifil dan do a drefnir gan fusnes, yn dibynnu ar faint y lleoliad.

Thanks to the fantastic team effort across Wales to keep each other safe, coronavirus cases remain stable.

We have the headroom to make further changes to the restrictions and start a phased move to Alert Level 1.

I’ll outline some of the changes in the thread below.

From Monday, up to 30 people can meet outdoors (including in gardens), but we must continue to be careful.

We’re also increasing the numbers for organised outdoor activities and events – this means things like organised group runs, outdoor sports and concerts.

Up to 3 households will be able to form an extended household and have a support bubble, but remember – meeting outdoors is safe than indoors.

Our phased approach to moving to Alert Level 1 means that initially outdoor events will begin again and more people can meet outside.
