People will have to show an NHS Covid pass to enter nightclubs and attend many events in Wales from next month, the first minister, Mark Drakeford, has announced.
Drakeford encouraged people to work from home wherever possible and to get fully vaccinated if they are not already. He said enforcement of measures such as wearing face coverings in indoor public places and on public transport would be increased.
Wales is at alert level 0 and will remain so for the next three weeks, but the Labour-led government said Covid case numbers were “very high”.
Drakeford said: “Across Wales, coronavirus cases have risen to very high levels over the summer as more people have been gathering and meeting. Tragically, more people are dying from this terrible virus. » | Steven Morris | Friday, September 17, 2021
