Agents in Wales face yet another setback with the announcement of a Tier 4 lockdown over peaks.

Specialist wildlife operator Bird Holidays has ceased trading after being unable to run any tours since March 2020

The restrictions, the highest possible, mean non-essential shops must close from 24 December and holiday accommodation will shut from 28 December.

The lockdown has no end date and will only be reviewed every three weeks.

The order was given by Welsh first minister Mark Drakeford amid concerns about spiralling Covid rates.

The Welsh government said on Wednesday that guidance published by Drakeford would be formally set out in regulations.

TTG is seeking clarity from the Welsh government on what constitutes "non-essential retail".
