Legal requirement for face coverings comes to an end in many indoor places
The legal requirement to wear a face covering in many indoor public places came to an end in Wales on 28/02/22.

The change will mean people will no longer be legally required to wear face coverings in a range of indoor places, including cinemas, theatres, community centres, museums and gyms.

But face coverings will continue to be a legal requirement for adults and children aged 11 and over, unless exempt, in all retail settings, on public transport and in health and care settings.

The outcome of the next review of regulations will be announced on 4 March, when all the remaining measures at alert level zero will be reviewed.

See our coronavirus advice page, including potential reasonable measures for tourism businesses.
