– If you live in an area of England, Scotland, or Northern Ireland with high rates of coronavirus, you’ll soon be persona non grata in Wales. That’s because the Welsh government plans to ban people from those areas from entering the country, Reuters reports. “We are preparing to take this action to prevent people who live in areas where there are higher COVID infection rates across the UK from traveling to Wales and bringing the virus with them,” says First Minister Mark Drakeford. The move follows similar restrictions in England.
