here's more from hywell griffith.ousehold. so, what's expected to change? well, it's understood there will be a new message to avoid unnecessary travel in wales. no new five—mile travel limit as we had in the summer, but people should question if they really need to go to places. they may want to think about their plans for half—term holidays. there will also be a 10pm curfew in pubs, clubs, bars and restaurants as in other parts of the uk, also maybe limits on alcohol being sold in off licences and there are more local lockdowns such as here in the city of newport. tougher rules in those areas, people not meant to travel in or out of the local area without good reason. that has not been extended wales—wide. there are still some parts of the country which are seeing falls in the new covid case rate. but in order to shelter the whole nation from a second wave of the pandemic, we are told these new measures are necessary. next, nothern ireland. it's recorded more than 1,000 virus cases in the past week. and stricter rul

our correspondent, hywel griffith, is in caerphilly. how are people reacting to this?ar to caerphilly because there was a travel restriction untiljuly of five miles. schools will remain open, albeit some already having had to ta ke open, albeit some already having had to take action with classes or pupils becoming ill. we know also that cafe is, bars and restaurants will remain open. some people have spoken to us here this morning think, how on earth can that be ok that people are allowed to go into these places? the answer is that because they believed the outbreak of this is community driven, driven by people meeting within each other‘s houses, house parties even. so that is the restriction that will change, people not being allowed into each other‘s households any more and certainly any house parties will be stamped down upon. how will the lockdown be enforced? we are told the council and the police be involved and there are some questions of what that means for them, whether or not they will have roadblocks upon the county lines. i think they are waiting to see a b

the first local lockdown in wales and is due to last until october, as our wales correspondent hywel griffithsin or out of the county unless they have an essential reason to do so, for example travelling to work if they can't work from home, orfor a medical appointment. but they shouldn't be going a few miles down south to cardiff shopping, for example. that will be familiar from earlier on this year. there was a five mile travel restriction in wales untiljuly. people here had hoped they had been through the worst of it. in fact, at the end ofjuly, caerphilly was covid free. but it has come back very suddenly in the last week. we are told almost 100 cases in the last seven days. according to the welsh government, a large part of that is due to people breaking the social distancing rules, with the health minister saying in a press conference in the last hour that people had been deliberately flouting the rules, hosting house parties, mixing and houses when they are simply not meant to. he says these measures are essential. the schools here are remaining open. pubs, cafes and restaurants too. th

let's get more from our wales correspondent, hywel griffith. what is changing there? good morning.open, bars, cafes and restau ra nts to stay open, bars, cafes and restaurants are going to stay open. another key changes that people won't be able to socialise indoors with other households, so no staying overnight. we are told by the welsh government that this is necessary after a spike in cases caused by a breakdown in social distancing, particularly, we are told, amongst young adults. these cases are mostly amongst young people. they are relatively mild at the moment, but the welsh health minister says it's almost inevitable that it may lead to further community transmission and potentially lead to more serious cases and hospital admissions. there is no end date on this localised lockdown. it will take as long as it ta kes, lockdown. it will take as long as it takes, and more severe restrictions could follow if the numbers don't fall. numbers in caerphilly have spiked recently in the last week. they think may be at came in with people returning from overseas holidays. but the key p
