Laid before Senedd Cymru: at 4.45 p.m. on 5 November 2020

The Welsh Ministers make the following Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 45B, 45C(1) and (3), 45F(2) and 45P of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 .
These Regulations are made in response to the serious and imminent threat to public health which is posed by the incidence and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Wales.
The Welsh Ministers consider that restrictions and requirements imposed by these Regulations are proportionate to what they seek to achieve, which is a public health response to that threat.
In accordance with section 45R of that Act the Welsh Ministers are of the opinion that, by reason of urgency, it is necessary to make this instrument without a draft having been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, Senedd Cymru.
