Wales Restrictions Update (7th June 2021)

From today (07/06/2021) Wales starts moving to alert level one, which now means 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 this month (June 2021) 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.
• Opening ice skating rinks (lots of these in Wales in June)!

 
He also announced that in light of the changes being announced today, the application window for the Economic Resilience Fund (ERF) has been extended until the end of June 2021 in order to support sectors further impacted by these changes, specifically those wedding, events and attractions venues with capacity for more than 30 guests. The Welsh Government is working with impacted sectors to top up the current ERF package for the May and June period. Businesses that have already applied do not need to take further action.
