 Local coronavirus restrictions introduced to control Covid-19 in Torfaen
On Monday (28 September) stricter Coronavirus laws came in to force across Torfaen in response to a rising rate of Covid-19 cases in the borough and due to Torfaen’s proximity to neighbouring areas where numbers are significantly higher.
The restrictions, which will apply to everyone living in living in Torfaen, are:
- People will not be allowed to enter or leave Torfaen without a reasonable excuse, such as travel for work or education;
- People will only be able to meet people they don’t live with outdoors for the time being. They will not be able to form, or be in, extended households (sometimes known as ‘bubbles’). This means meeting indoors (in people’s houses, in a pub or elsewhere) with anyone you don’t live with is not allowed at the moment unless you have a good reason, such as providing care to a vulnerable person.
- All licensed premises have to stop serving alcohol at 10pm.
- Everyone over 11 will be required to wear face coverings in indoor places, which are open to the public, such as shops, as well as on public transport – as is the case in the rest of Wales. (There are some limited exemptions for people with disabilities and medical conditions – these are the same as for public transport).
For Torfaen over the past 7 days we have had 49 positive cases and our figures have now risen to 52.1 per 100,000 with a positivity figure of 4.2% (so for every 100 tests, 4.2 are positive)
The following frequently asked questions are related to the Torfaen area and the link www.gov.wales/local-lockdown provides information on the regulations in force on all local lockdown areas.
Cyfyngiadau coronafeirws lleol yn cael eu cyflwyno i reoli Covid-19 yn Nhorfaen
Ar ddydd Llun (28 Medi) daeth cyfreithiau llymach ar goronafeirws i rym ar draws Torfaen mewn ymateb i gynnydd yn nifer yr achosion o Covid-19 yn y fwrdeistref ac oherwydd bod Torfaen yn agos at ardaloedd cyfagos ble mae niferoedd yn sylweddol uwch.
Dyma’r cyfyngiadau, a fydd yn berthnasol i bawb sy’n byw yn Nhorfaen:
- Ni fydd pobl yn cael dod i mewn i na gadael Torfaen heb reswm digonol, fel teithio i’r gwaith neu addysg;
- Bydd pobl dim ond yn gallu cwrdd â phobl nad ydyn nhw’n byw â nhw yn yr awyr agored am y tro. Ni fyddan nhw’n gallu ffurfio, na bod mewn, aelwydydd estynedig (a elwir weithiau’n ‘swigod’). Mae hyn yn golygu nad yw cyfarfod o dan do (mewn cartrefi pobl, mewn tafarn neu rywle arall) gydag unrhyw un nad ydych chi’n byw â nhw yn cael ei ganiatáu ar hyn o bryd oni bai bod gennych reswm da, fel rhoi gofal i berson bregus.
- Bydd rhaid i bob eiddo trwyddedig stopio gwerthu alcohol am 10pm.
- Bydd rhaid i bawb dros 11 oed wisgo gorchudd wyneb mewn mannau dan do sy’n agored i’r cyhoedd, fel siopau, yn ogystal ag ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus – fel sy’n digwydd yng ngweddill Cymru. (Mae yna rai eithriadau i bobl ag anableddau neu gyflyrau meddygol – mae’r rhain yr un fath ar gyfer trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus).
Yn Nhorfaen dros y 7 diwrnod diwethaf rydym wedi cael 49 o achosion positif ac mae ein ffigyrau wedi codi at 52.1 mewn 100,000 gyda ffigwr positifrwydd o 4.2% (felly ar gyfer 100 o brofion, mae 4.2 yn bositif)
