Large parts of North Wales have been placed under local lockdowns following a rise in coronavirus cases, the country's health minister has said.
Restrictions will be introduced in Denbighshire, Flintshire, Conwy and Wrexham from 6pm on Thursday to help control the spread of the virus.
The local restrictions will not be introduced in Anglesey or Gwynedd at this stage, where cases are lower.
Vaughan Gething said: "Unfortunately, we have seen a rise in coronavirus cases in four north Wales local authority areas - in Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham and Conwy.
"These are largely linked to people socialising indoors and are the pattern of transmission similar to what we have seen in South Wales.
"We have worked closely with local authority leaders and the police in North Wales and we all agree about the need to take swift action to control the spread of the virus."

The restrictions will be in addition to the rules that apply everywhere in Wales, which are that all licensed premises must stop selling alcohol at 10pm.
And everyone over 11 will be required to wear face coverings in indoor public areas – as is the case across Wales.
