A fresh appeal has been launched to encourage people to get their coronavirus vaccination.

As of December 16, 45.2 per cent of those aged 12 or older in Wales have had three doses of a Covid-19 vaccine. Around 83 per cent have had two doses and around 90 per cent have had a first.

159 people in Gwent had a first vaccine over the weekend.

Monmouthshire residents aged 12 and older, registered with a GP in Gwent can walk into a mass vaccination centre anywhere in Gwent and get their first vaccine without an appointment.

For businesses and services there will be a new set of measures which will include a new rule on 2m social distancing.

When shops, businesses and workplaces reopen after Christmas, they will be required to put extra measures to protect customers and staff, such as one-way systems and physical barriers.

Nightclubs must close from December 27 and indoor sporting events will not go ahead.
