McDonald's outlines new rules for Welsh branches from Friday

All cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants in Wales will have to close at 6pm as part of new measures to slow the spread of coroanvirus.

They will also not be able to sell alcohol at any time, the Welsh Government has confirmed.

The new measures will come into force across Wales on Friday, December 4 and will be reviewed on Tuesday, December 17.

Mark Drakeford said: "From 6pm on Friday, our national measures will be amended to introduce new restrictions for hospitality and indoor entertainment attractions.

"Pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes will have to close by 6pm and will not be allowed to serve alcohol. After 6pm they will only be able to provide takeaway services."
