UK

Four more areas in North Wales are being put in local lockdown following a rise in coronavirus cases, the health minister has said.

Vaughan Gething says the measures are in place for Denbighshire, Flintshire, Conwy and Wrexham, and will affect half a million people.

From 6pm on Thursday:

  • People will not be allowed to enter or leave each of these areas without a reasonable excuse, such as travel for work or education
  • People will only be able to meet people they don’t live with outdoors for the time being. They will not be able to form, or be in, extended households
