Living with Covid-19 means business as usual is not an option. Therefore, Swansea’s new normal will inevitably mean some changes to which our residents and visitors must adapt.
From Friday 28 January, Wales completed the move to alert level 0:
The self-isolation rules for everyone who tests positive for Covid and the face-covering rules, which apply in most public indoor places will remain in force after 28 January.
Please refer to the official links below to find out the most up to date guidance and information available relating to COVID-19. We will update this page regularly with the latest advice as appropriate.
This will help prevent the further spread of the Coronavirus, #ProtectOurNHS and save lives this winter.
Following Welsh Government guidelines, face coverings are mandatory in indoor public places, like shops and public toilets. Face coverings will be required in hospitality settings at all times apart from when seated. There will be exemptions for people who cannot wear face coverings for health or medical reasons, similar to those for public transport.
Please make sure to follow the latest guidance, and observe any signage in place at any indoor public place you visit. Find out more.

The rule of 6 will apply to gatherings in regulated premises, such as hospitality. All licensed premises will need to take additional measures to protect customers and staff, including table service and collecting contact details. Face coverings will be required in hospitality settings at all times apart from when seated. Check out our food and drink section for inspiration on where to dine during your visit.
We are in this together and have a duty to each other – to be responsible, considerate and observe specific safety instructions.
We want Swansea to be a safe place for our residents and also for our visitors when we are ready to welcome them back.
