Yesterday (19 October), the Welsh Government announced plans to go into a national lockdown from 23 October until 9 November 2020, to help "regain control" of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
The firebreak measures will see all non-food retail, hospitality businesses, close contact services, such as hairdressers and beauticians, close at 6pm on Friday.
The Welsh Government has confirmed that NHS and health services will continue to operate during this time.
