Should we attend if one of us is shielding? (Updated)

Those who have previously followed shielding advice no longer need to do so. You can now follow the same rules as the rest of Wales. This means:

  • You no longer need to stay 2 metres or 3 steps away from people you live with or who are part of your extended household.
  • You can now go to work, if you cannot work from home, as long as the business is COVID secure (has taken reasonable measures to minimise risk to employees);
  • Children who have been shielding can return to school when schools re-start.
  • You can now go out for any reason, including going to shops to buy food but you should stay 2 metres or 3 steps from other people.
