Lifting of Wales’ travel limits likely to get final go-ahead

PLANS to lift Wales’ “stay local” travel restrictions on Monday will likely be confirmed by the first minister later.

Mark Drakeford said two weeks ago that travel into and around Wales would be possible from 6 July, providing coronavirus was still under control.

People are currently required to stay within five miles of their home as a guide.

From 6 July, people from two separate households will also be able to join together as one “extended household”.

From Monday, they can meet indoors and stay overnight, in a similar fashion to other “support bubble” arrangements elsewhere in the UK.

It follows the Welsh Government’s announcement on Thursday, that restaurants and pubs can open outdoors from 13 July.

Venues will be able to open in spaces they own and have licences for – as long as Covid-19 cases continue to fall.
