The
changes follow the third statutory review of the regulations by Welsh
Ministers.
From Monday 1 June 2020, 2
households in the same local area will be able to meet outdoors. In doing this,
however, people must follow social distancing and strict hand hygiene practices
to control the spread of the virus. 'Local' means not generally travelling more
than 5 miles from home to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading from one
area to another.
The changes mean people can meet
another household outdoors in their local area but all the other rules to
protect people from coronavirus will stay in place for the time being.
Non-essential retail businesses,
which can comply with the physical distancing duty, should start to prepare to
reopen over the next 3 weeks.
A decision about whether
non-essential retail will reopen will be taken at the next review on 18 June
and will depend on the scientific and medical evidence.
Beauty and tourist spots will
remain closed.
