Masks, social distancing and other pandemic restrictions in universities and colleges in Wales have now come to an end. All Covid restrictions for higher education have been lifted as of May 9 as the Welsh Government formally removed the infection control framework for higher and further education institutions.
The move brings universities and colleges them in line with schools and businesses . It was announced last week that restrictions for schools were ending.
Large-scale lectures and face-to-face teaching had already begun to return in higher education but the change will bring higher and further education into line with the wider public health guidance followed by businesses, employers, and event organisers, the Welsh Government said.
