This week people experienced life with no coronavirus restrictions for the first time in more than two years. It was towards the end of March, 2020, when Wales, and the rest of the UK, were first plunged into a state of lockdown as cases of Covid-19 soared.
Since then, restrictions have been in place to varying degrees, including full-on ‘stay at home lockdowns’, restrictions in pubs and shops, travel restrictions and rules with regard to the wearing of face coverings.

Most regulations were scrapped in March this year - two years after they were imposed - while workplaces were allowed to put a stop to Covid measures in April, with schools and higher education settings following suit earlier this month. After that, the last remaining Covid restrictions anywhere in the UK came to an end on Monday (May 30) when the legal requirement to wear a face covering in health and care settings in Wales was halted.
