Wales to drop mask-wearing law in shops and on public transport from Monday

Masks will remain mandatory in health and care settings as cases rise across country

People in Wales will no longer be legally required to wear masks in shops and on public transport from Monday and the legal obligation to stay at home after a positive Covid test is to be scrapped.

Mask wearing will still be mandatory in health and care settings, however, and businesses will have to continue to carry out coronavirus risk assessments and put reasonable" mitigation measures in place.
