It’s the 2nd regional lock-down in Wales, after Caerphilly has been subject to constraints last week.

Tue.’s rate of positive tests in RCT has been 4.3% – the largest in Wales – Mr Gething formerly alerted a positive rate of 4% across Wales would trigger a domestic lock-down.

Contact tracing groups were able to trace regarding half of the COVID-19 instances in RCT “return to a show of clusters in the borough”, he stated.

“The rest are proof of society transmission.”

1 cluster is associated with a rugby club, & a pub within the lower Rhondda valley, the other is linked to a club outing to the Doncaster races, that the minister stated suspended off in a show of pubs on the way.
