Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford has just said he expects restrictions to be reintroduced into Wales in order to save Christmas.
He says: “We will be saying today that the hospitality industry needs to use the next three weeks to prepare for the possibility that Covid passes may have to be introduced in that setting.
“When I talk about risk assessments in the workplace, I’m talking about the number of people who can work safely from home – maybe we will have to do more of that.”
He says if the number of Covid cases cannot be brought down over the next three weeks, Wales will “have to revisit that basket of measures that we’ve drawn on previously”.
Covid passes will be extended to cinemas, theatres and concert halls from 15 November as part of the plans.
Pubs, restaurants and cafes might also require passes if infections climb, amid a “wider repertoire of actions”.
