And he has said people who work in England should follow the rules of the country they live in.
So if your English employer insists you come to work you can be fined for doing so.And if you don’t you get sacked.....We have another announcement at lunchtime.
While no furlough scheme means there cannot be a full lockdown I am expecting as many restrictions as he can get away with.
He has recalled the Assembly which is worrying.

so just for clarity.. your little leader is intending to fine people who live in Wales but work in England ?.... OMG !..somewhere along the line this has to be found to be illegal.. I hope so anyway...

It’s highly unlikely the government would allow a company to do that … the company would be in too much trouble.

Well,if I was an employer in England I would not be allowing my employees to stay at home simply because they lived in Wales.
Even we were in draconian lockdown and there was a five mile travel ban you could go to work in England.
And I can’t see how they can possibly police this.

Yes....if he deems what your work involves can be done at home...regardless of what an English employer over whom he has no power thinks or wants.
Nothing amazes me anymore
 

So now we are back to two metre social distancing( no I will not obey),track and trace(I will not give my correct phone number),the rule of six as invented by Boris,table service in pubs,maximum gatherings of fifty people outdoors and thirty indoors......and merely existing now seems to be a criminal offence as we criminalise more and more normal behaviour.
Wales will soon be changing it’s name to Soviet Russia.
Earlier this week going to work without reasonable excuse became fineable ,even if you work in England with an employer who insists you have to be there.
Welcome to Wales...but don’t plan on enjoying yourself when you get here.
I will be spending my money at rugby matches and concerts in Bristol....

Oh..and as I type this I find my stomach tied up in knots and I can’t stop shaking.
Drakeford is really taking a toll on my mental health

Mark Drakeford today announced a wave of new coronavirus restrictions for Wales which will kick in from Boxing Day as he banned large New Year's Eve parties and imposed the rule of six on pubs and restaurants.

The Welsh First Minister announced the return of two metre social distancing in most public settings while hospitality venues will be limited to table service-only and customers will have to wear face masks at all times apart from when seated.

Curbs will be placed on large gatherings, with a maximum of 30 people allowed to attend an indoor event and 50 outdoors.

Wales has had the lowest Covid rate of the UK nations over the last seven days at 606 cases per 100,000 people - much lower than London's rate of 1,400 cases per 100,000.

However, Wales's daily Covid cases today were almost double last week's figure with 4,662 new infections, compared to 2,431 on the same day last week.

The Welsh Government is not imposing rules on mixing in private homes, but has issued tougher guidance which 'strongly' advises people to limit household mixing.

Mr Drakeford said the measures are necessary because 'we are facing a very serious situation in Wales' as he piled the pressure on Boris Johnson, with the Prime Minister currently weighing up whether to impose new curbs on England after Christmas.

Mr Drakeford's measures go even further than those announced by Nicola Sturgeon yesterday after she banned large scale Hogmanay celebrations and imposed table service-only rules on hospitality.

Tory MPs accused Mr Drakeford of overreacting as they described the new curbs as 'disproportionate' and claimed the Labour politician had made the move because 'he wants to do something different to the UK Government just to show that he can'.

Mr Johnson yesterday hit the brakes on a Christmas lockdown in England as scientists concluded the Omicron strain is likely to be milder than Delta, with ministers saying cases are also lower than feared.

The PM declared last night that Christmas can definitely go ahead 'cautiously', but warned that the Government is tracking the spread of the mutant strain hour by hour and is 'ready' to act after December 25 if necessary.

However, in a glimmer of light there are claims today that the UK Health Security Agency has tentatively backed suggestions that Omicron infections tend to be less severe.

The scientists also endorsed previous findings that booster jabs offer significant protection from developing symptoms and ending up in hospital, according to Politico.

The weird thing is, that no-one outside Wales had ever heard of this jumped up little twerp before C-19... this man has let a little bit of power go straight to his head... over-ruling the Prime minister...

You sound like you're at the end of your rope, furry. I feel for you.

I have sadly been to no indoor concert or sporting events during the pandemic. I refuse to pay usual major bucks to go to any rock concerts where I would have to wear a mask. Here in the SFBA, although large events reopened this year, policy has demanded all upon entering show vaccination proof and wear masks. Reality is, anti-vaxers can easily obtain counterfeit vaccination cards and once inside venues not only are those likely to pull masks down below noses and mouths but also they are the ones most likely to be carrying and spreading COVID-19. Fine with this person because that just resulted in mainly unvaccinated catching the virus with serious symptoms. Thus enforcements is in practice impossible. Take your chances.

With the mutated Omicron variant, apparently our vaccinations do not help so now we vaccinated also have reason to fear going to events. At this point when reliable research is still too new, there is much loud BS being spouted in media by both political extremes. A primary issue has always been many vaccinated people have incorrectly treated vaccinations like it a ticket to return to pre-pandemic behaviors indoors around others. Reality is if one is in a confined space breathing in air of infected persons, it is just like with other respiratory diseases in that our immune systems however strong or enhanced can be overwhelmed.

North of the border the rules are....

For three weeks from 26 December, there will be limits on the size of public events. Those limits will be:
  • Up to 100 people at indoor standing events
  • Up to 200 people at indoor seated events
  • Up to 500 people, either seated or standing, at outdoor events.
This means the cancellation of large Hogmanay events, such as the famous celebrations in Edinburgh. Sporting events, such as football matches, will effectively be spectator-free.
Any events which do go ahead will have to introduce one metre physical distancing.
Non-professional indoor contact sports for adults will also be banned during the three-week period.
Further restrictions will also be introduced for pubs, restaurants and other indoor public places for three weeks from 27 December.
Indoor hospitality and leisure venues will have to ensure there is a one metre distance between different groups of people, and table service will be required where alcohol is served.
There should be no more than three households in any group.
