The Welsh Government is set to meet this evening and it’s being rumoured that further restrictions could be announced as early as tonight, due to the rampant spread of the Omicron variant in the United Kingdom.
It’s understood that officials will meet this evening and will discuss the potential for further restrictions, with hospitality and large events expected to be among those areas discussed at length.
The imposing of restrictions is unlikely to be straight away, with Sky News this evening reporting that First Minister Mark Drakeford may announce that any further restrictions are delayed until after Christmas Day.
An announcement is expected later this evening or early on Friday.
