The guideline not to travel more than five miles from home will come to an end on Monday but that rule is still in place this weekend as English lockdown restrictions have been eased even further.
Welsh police forces across the country have warned people to stick to the five-mile guidance this weekend, urging them not to be tempted to cross the border into England to visit any pubs.
On Saturday, for the first time in months, businesses in England including pubs and hairdressers can open their doors again.
