Four
further Welsh Council areas are due to enter local lockdown from 6pm, Thursday
1 October, as part of the Welsh Government’s effort to suppress rising
Coronavirus infections.
From
tomorrow evening, extra restrictions will come into force in Conwy, Denbighshire,
Flintshire, and Wrexham; Under
the restrictions, people should not leave or enter a lockdown area, except for a limited set of reasons,
including:
- to work, if you cannot work from home
- to provide care
- travelling to education
We understand it is permitted to travel through the areas
concerned, without stopping, should people need to reach or leave Gwynedd or
Anglesey.
For details on the rules and local updates, we urge the Welsh
Cricket Family to consult local and national authority websites for the most up
to date information, and any changes which may be made to the restrictions.
These include:

https://www.flintshire.gov.uk/
https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/
As we understand it, organised sports activity, which is
conducted in line with the law and local restrictions (including those
pertaining to travel), and adheres to National Governing Body-issued
guidelines, is still permissible, if your venue can open and operate in
a Covid-safe manner, with risk assessments and mitigation plans conducted and
shared with the relevant parties.
We would urge all participants and followers of Welsh Cricket to
continue to adhere to the standing public health advice on hygiene, and the law
with regards to face coverings in public indoor spaces where they are required.
Please see the Cricket Wales website for detail on
cricket-specific guidance, and contact your Area teams if you have additional
queries.
