A rule that requires Welsh businesses to carry out COVID-19 risk assessments will end on April 18, but the mask mandates for medical settings will remain in place for another three weeks.

The Welsh government’s latest review of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus restrictions, published on April 13, said, “From April 18, 2022, businesses and organisations will no longer be legally required to undertake a specific coronavirus risk assessment and to take reasonable measures to minimise the risk of contracting coronavirus.”
