Wales Golf COVID update December 2021
COVID-19 Update
Wednesday 22nd December 2021
In response to the new omicron variant, the Welsh Government have released the NEW Alert Level 2 Legal Restrictions that will come into effect from 6.00 am on Monday 26th December, not Tuesday 27th December as previously announced.
The alert level two measures will mean:
A general requirement of 2m social distancing in all premises open to the public and workplaces, where reasonable.
The rule of 6 will apply to gatherings in regulated premises, such as hospitality, cinemas and theatres.
All licensed premises will need to take additional measures to protect customers and staff, including table service and collecting contact details.
Face coverings will be required in hospitality settings at all times apart from when seated.
Large events will not be allowed indoors or outdoors. The maximum number of people who can gather at an indoor event will be 30 and 50 outdoors.
Changes to Close Contact isolation rules
Changes have been announced to the self-isolation rules if you are considered a close contact. If you are a fully vaccinated adult or child aged between 5 and 17 you do not need to self-isolate if identified as a close contact but you are strongly advised to:
take a lateral flow device (LFD) test every day for 7 days or until 10 days since your last contact with the person who tested positive for COVID-19 if this is earlier.
take this daily test before you leave the house for the first time that day.
upload all tests results on GOV.UK even if negative or void. This helps improve our understanding of infection rates across the UK and helps inform how we manage the pandemic to keep people safe whilst keeping life as normal as possible.
During this period of uncertainty, we would like to advise you to familiarise yourselves with Wales’s new Alert Level. Please be prepared to plan, mitigate and implement any changes to the restrictions at short notice during the Festive Period.
