Covid-19: Welsh Government update - BBC News
Details and reaction as Health Minister Vaughan Gething gives a live televised briefing.
The Welsh Government has updated its Coronavirus Control Plan , changing its traffic-light framework of restrictions to one of four alert levels.

It said the change was "aligned to the measures we will need to have in place to control the spread of the virus through the difficult winter months ahead of us and to protect people’s health".

"It also sets out how and when Wales will move between these alert levels," a statement said.

"The all-Wales measures are designed to be as simple, fair and clear as possible and they will provide greater certainty for people and businesses about what legal restrictions will be put in place, depending on the level of risk, helping them to plan for the future."

Alert level one (low risk): This represents the level of restrictions closest to normality, which are possible while infection rates are low and other preventative measures, such as social distancing and working from home, remain in place.

Alert level two (medium risk): This includes additional controls to limit the spread of coronavirus. These may be complemented by more targeted local actions to manage specific incidents or outbreaks.

Alert level three (high risk): These represent the strictest restrictions short of a firebreak or lockdown. These respond to higher or rising level of infections where local actions are no longer effective in containing the growth of the virus.

Alert level four (very high risk): Restrictions at this level would be equivalent to the firebreak regulations or lockdown. These could either be deployed as a preventative firebreak or as a lockdown measure.
