Twenty-six pubs, restaurants and shops in Newport have been either closed or warned over coronavirus rule breaches so far this year.
Since August 2019, local authorities in Wales have had the power to take action against businesses or premises who are believed not to be adhering to coronavirus guidelines.
According to Welsh Government guidelines, businesses issued with an improvement order are given a specific time - at least 48 hours - in which to carry out specific measures in order to comply with regulations.
Businesses can also be issued with a closure order, which last for 14 days unless withdrawn.
Reasons for taking action include a lack of implementing social distancing, staff not adhering to guidelines including the wearing of face coverings, or lack of prominent display of coronavirus signage and hand sanitiser.
Here are the cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops and other businesses which have either been closed or warned by the council over rule breaches so far in 2021, correct as of Friday, June 4 on the Newport City Council website. Instances where a notice has been withdrawn are noted.
