The Welsh Government has announced that Wales will enter the highest level of its traffic light system to control coronavirus from December 28.
Guidance has already been issued for what people must do in "alert level four" (very high risk).
It is expected that all of Wales will be in one level of restriction, but this could change and local lockdowns brought in if the situation requires.
You can read more details about the new levels here.
