THE Welsh Government will tomorrow set out a two-week plan to lift Covid-19 restrictions in Wales.

In a press conference tomorrow lunch time (Friday) the First Minister will set out how Wales plans to move the country back to alert level zero, if the public health situation continues to improve.

Mark Drakeford will set out the two-week plan to ease the alert level two restrictions which have been in place since Boxing Day.

In a statement released this evening, the Welsh Government said it is “able to start removing the protections put in place in response to the Omicron wave, thanks to the support of people across Wales and the successful booster campaign – more than 1.75 million people have had the extra booster dose.”

The Welsh Government added: “The move to alert level zero will be phased, with restrictions on outdoor activities being removed first.”

No further details have yet been released on dates for the easing of various restrictions such as limits on sporting events and the closure of nightclubs.

The press conference will take place at 12.15pm on Friday.
