Face masks and Covid passes to be scrapped in latest Welsh Government lockdown review

Covid passes are being scrapped in Wales, and within weeks people will no longer need to wear masks in most indoor public places.

The latest review of the Covid rules for Wales has been carried out by Welsh Government. The cabinet met for the final time on Thursday morning to decide on what further measures could be relaxed.

Covid passes will no longer be required from next Friday, February 18. And ten days later, from February 28, people will no longer need to wear face coverings in all indoor places. However masks will still be required in shops, health and care facilities and public transport. If cases continue to fall, the Welsh Government hopes to lift all masks rules by the end of March.
