First minister Mark Drakeford made the announcement on Wednesday (14 July) when he revealed Wales’ latest plans to remove Covid-19 restrictions.

He said the removal of the amber list quarantine requirement for fully vaccinated people would bring Wales “in line with the position in England and Scotland” from 19 July.

Wales will move to “alert level one” from Saturday (17 July) with hopes to move to “level zero” from 7 August when most remaining restrictions will be lifted.

Although the wearing of masks will still be mandatory on public transport and most indoor public spaces in Wales beyond 7 August.
