New Welsh Guidance

Dear Member

The First Minister has today announced further restrictions to reduce 

the risk of infections spreading. The new Regulations are only being 

applied against Commercial premises and do not affect Household 

environments.

We have tried to persuade the Government that introducing Covid Passes 

to access any public environment is the right next step but this has 

been rejected. This would have ensured that the 4 million people who 

have taken the decision not to have the vaccine; and who have now placed 

the Health service at risk of being overwhelmed by the virus; would be 

unable to go anywhere where the majority of the people present would be 

vaccinated against severe symptoms. All measures being introduced now 

are to ensure that those who have chosen not to have the vaccine don't 

catch the virus and become so ill that they need hospital treatment 

which would cause massive overloading of the system.

The step to daily lateral flow tests for any person who has had both 

vaccinations who is identified as having been in contact with a positive 

person is a great step forward for us as an industry. The £120m support 

is likely to be distributed through an ERF style platform which we will 

hear more about tomorrow from the Minister.

We expect to see restrictions lifted quite soon post Christmas and are 

delighted that the ultimate restriction which was being discussed has 

been rejected by the Cabinet in favour of a return to some of the less 

labour impacting measures of table service, maximum of 6 in a group and 

track and trace details being recorded once again, which most 

responsible customers are compliant to without adding to our Labour 

costs.

If anyone needs a copy of the Track and Trace methods that can be used 

simply and easily then please contact me on chairman@llandudnoha.co.uk.

Stay safe

Berin Jones

Chairman
