As a responsible destination, Swansea Bay wants to support the safety of both residents and visitors to the area:

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.

* Update to Wales’ Coronavirus Regulations*

Recent and upcoming changes

From Friday 28 January, Wales completed the move to alert level 0:

  • Nightclubs can now re-open.
  • Businesses, employers and other organisations must continue to undertake a specific coronavirus risk assessment and take reasonable measures to minimise the spread of coronavirus.
  • The general requirement of 2m social distancing in all premises open to the public and workplaces has now been removed.
  • The rule of 6 will no longer apply to gatherings in regulated premises, such as hospitality, cinemas and theatres.
  • Licensed premises will no longer need to only provide table service and collect contact details.
  • Working from home remains part of advice from the Welsh Government but is no longer be a legal requirement.
  • The Covid Pass will continue to be required to enter larger indoor events, nightclubs, cinemas, theatres and concert halls.

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.

Face Coverings

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.

Finally, please remember…

We are in this together and have a duty to each other – to be responsible, considerate and observe specific safety instructions.

  • Stay home if feeling unwell, especially with a continuous cough, high temperature or loss of taste and smell.
  • Maintain social distancing – keeping 2m apart.
  • Wear a facemask – mandatory in indoor public places, like shops and public toilets. Under 11s and people with health conditions are exempt.
  • Wash hands regularly for 20 seconds or more, especially before and after going out.

We want Swansea to be a safe place for our residents and also for our visitors when we are ready to welcome them back.

Enjoy Swansea. Responsibly
