Covid: What can you do in Wales-wide lockdown? Published 23 October 2020
Image source, Getty Images
Major restrictions to people's lives have been introduced after Wales entered a 17-day "firebreak" lockdown.
Until Monday 9 November people living in Wales are being told to stay at home.
Pubs, bars and restaurants, gyms, and all non-essential shops have been made to close.
But what does it mean, and what can you do from 23 October to 9 November without breaking the law?
Can I leave my house?

Similar to during the first lockdown in March, people are being told to stay at home in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus in Wales.
You are only allowed to leave your house to go to the shops to buy essential food and medication, get health care and treatment, to provide care, or to take exercise.
You should also work from home unless it is not possible.
Can I go to the shops?

All but essential shops had been told to close from 18:00 BST on Friday.
While people are not limited to their local authority, they are being told to shop as close to home as possible and not travel long distances.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, post offices and banks remain open, but are being told not to sell non-essential items, such as clothing, toys and homeware.
Can I see friends?
No. Under the new rules people cannot mix with others they do not live with.
From Friday you are not meant to meet others indoors, or socialise outdoors, such as in parks or people's gardens.
I live alone - can I see my family, partner or friend?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, People living alone can meet another household indoors, under the rules
During local lockdowns people living alone were allowed to meet one other household indoors from their local areas, after concerns about isolation.
This has not changed, with those who live alone or in a single parent households being the only ones able to meet a household they do not live with.
This has to be the same one every time. But they can live anywhere, due to this being a national lockdown, however, the Welsh Government has urged people to form an extended household as "locally as possible".
Over the coming days, expect to see a return to the days of Zoom chats, virtual parties, people waving at each other from the end of drives, and people leaving shopping on door steps.
Can my children go to school?
Image source, PA Media
Primary and special schools will re-open as normal on 2 November after the half-term break - there is no extra time off.
In secondary schools only pupils in Years 7 and 8 will go back to class.
Pupils sitting exams will be able to go in to take them but all other pupils will continue their learning from home for an extra week.
What about childcare?

Childcare facilities are staying open during the 17 days in a bid to keep schools open.
Grandparents and other relatives can still care for children, but only if no other methods of childcare are available.
Where parents live apart, children will be allowed to continue to stay with both parents, with arrangements continuing as normal.
Can I go to the pub or a hotel?
Image source, Getty Images
No - from 18:00 BST on Friday pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels closed for 17 days.
This is similar to the first Wales-wide lockdown back in March. Beer gardens will be shut, and people are being warned not to drink in their friends' homes or gardens, or to gather in parks.
Pubs and food establishments are able to operate as takeaways.
Hotels and businesses in the tourism sector will not reopen until 9 November.
Can I go on holiday or visit my second home?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, It is illegal to go on holiday in Wales or to travel abroad during lockdown
No, travelling to go on holiday in Wales, or outside Wales, including abroad, is not classed as "essential" travel during lockdown.
If you have pre-booked and paid for a holiday, the Welsh Government is advising people to contact their travel company to discuss the situation.
If you live outside of Wales or within Wales, travelling to stay, visit or check on your second home is illegal.
I'm worried about a friend or loved-one - can I visit?
You can travel to provide care or to help someone in need - such as an older person, a child or a vulnerable adult - even if they are not part of your household.
You can travel to visit someone on "compassionate grounds".
This may apply if you are worried someone is struggling with being isolated due to the restrictions, is having issues with their mental or physical health, has recently lost a loved one, or you are concerned about their wellbeing or welfare.
My family live in England - can I see them?
Image source, Getty Images
Travel across the border is now limited to "essential travel".
This includes providing care, or if you need to visit on compassionate grounds. If you live in a single person or single parent household you can travel across the border to visit your extended household.
People who live in Wales but work over the border are able to travel, if they cannot work from home.
Can I visit someone in a care home or hospital?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Care home visits have to be prearranged
Indoor visits to care homes may be allowed but only in "exceptional circumstances", such as for end-of-life visits.
But this is up to local councils and individual homes to decide if it can be done safely, and must be prearranged.
Similar rules apply to hospital and children's home visits.
Can I go to the gym?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Swimming pools and gyms had only recently reopened
No - gyms, pools and leisure centres are now closed for the 17 days.
However local parks, playgrounds and outdoor gyms remain open.
Can I go for a walk, bike ride or run?
Image source, Reuters
Yes - under the new national lockdown you can leave your house for exercise.
Unlike back in March, there is no limit to how many times you can leave the house to exercise or how far you can run, cycle, walk or jog, or to where - as local lockdown boundaries have now ended.
But exercising with others, such as running and cycling clubs, is not allowed, and you should start your exercise from home.
People are being asked not to drive anywhere to do sport as exercise, unless they have specific health reasons, and people are banned from driving "significant distances" to get to mountains, beaches and beauty spots.
The government is also asking people to avoid activities which involve a "significant degree of risk", such as open water swimming and water sports.
Golf and tennis clubs are required to close during the period of the lockdown.
What about community support groups?
The Welsh Government has confirmed that community support groups, who meet on non NHS premises, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, will have to temporarily stop.
This is due to gathering restrictions, and rules meaning you are not allowed to meet others from outside your own household.
A spokesman said they would be able to meet online.

The autumn Internationals and professional football are allowed to continue behind closed doors, and be broadcast into people's homes.
Sportspeople who work and earn a living through sport are allowed to continue working, and like everyone else they can leave home to do so if they cannot work from home.
All community, amateur sport and training is suspended during the 17 day period.
I live in a house share - what can I do?
People living in houses of multiple occupation (HMOs) who are single are able to "bubble up" with another household in Wales.
This also applies to students living in HMOs and to people in supported living arrangements with individual tenancies.
Can I drive or go on holiday?
Image source, Getty Images
You can travel, but only for a "reasonable" cause.
These include trips to buy essential items - such as food and medication - to seek medical help, get a coronavirus test, or to deliver care.
You can also travel to work, but only if you are a critical worker, or you do a job where you cannot work from home.
Travelling to go on holiday is against the law.
Also, people from outside Wales cannot visit on holiday.
Will public transport be running?
Image source, PA Media
Yes, but with reduced services.
Economy Minister Ken Skates said he had asked train and bus operators to cut down their services, particularly outside peak hours.
He said services would be similar to those running in August, and said it was "imperative" the remaining spaces were available for key workers and essential journeys.
Taxis are allowed to run if they have measures to cut the risk of transmitting the virus in the car.
But they should only be used for essential journeys.
What if I am at university?
Image source, Getty Images
Cases have been confirmed at university halls of residence, with thousands of students self-isolating on campuses across Wales.
During the 17 days students have been told not to head home, but to stay where they are.First Minister Mark Drakeford added: "In the same way we are asking everyone to stay at home, if students have reading weeks or half-term they will also need to stay at home in their university accommodation."
Do I have to shield again if I am high risk?
During the last lockdown thousands of vulnerable people with medical conditions and the elderly where told to stay in the house and shield, due to being high-risk from the virus.
However, the Welsh Government has not re-introduced shielding for such people.
The first minister said this was because if everyone stuck strictly to the rules the risk of exposure would be reduced.
People are being advised to shop at quieter times of the day if they are high risk.
What about health services?
The Welsh Government has stressed that people should still seek medical help.
Dentists, opticians, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractors, osteopaths, and counselling and mental health services will remain open.
Can I have my hair cut or a beauty treatment?

Many people resorted to home cuts during the last national lockdown back in March, with hairdressers trying to repair dodgy shaves and cuts when they reopened.
Once again, you will have to wait until you can see your hairdresser again.
Hair salons, barbers, and beauticians are now closed until the end of the national lockdown.
Can I get married, go to a funeral or go to my place of worship?
This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Media caption, This couple were due to celebrate tying the knot in front of 300 guests
During this 17-day lockdown places of worship are closed to congregations, apart from the holding of weddings, civil partnerships and funerals.
Numbers allowed at ceremonies will depend on how many people can fit in the venue, with social distancing in place.
Receptions are banned once again.
Funerals can go ahead, with social distancing in place, and numbers depending on the venue size.
You will not be allowed to host a wake or any gathering following the funeral.
Can I move house?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, House viewings have been suspended from Friday
Yes, you can move house, if you cannot delay the moving date until after the short lockdown period is over.
However, property viewings cannot take place during the circuit-breaker period and high street estate agencies are required to close.
What about my car and home repairs?
Work can be carried out in people's homes, for example by tradespeople, as long as it is managed in a safe way and both the worker and household members have no symptoms of coronavirus.
But the Welsh Government is recommending people consider if the work can be safely deferred until after the lockdown.
No work should be carried out in any home where someone is isolating, unless it is to repair a fault which poses a direct risk to people's safety.
If the MoT on your vehicle is due, you should still take it to the garage.
Driving lessons are banned, and driving tests are not going ahead.
What about Halloween and Bonfire Night?
Image source, Getty Images
This will be an autumn like no other.
With people banned from meeting outdoors, trick-or-treating and fireworks are both off.
The ban will be "self-policing", says First Minister Mark Drakeford.
However, planned Remembrance Day events on Sunday 8 November - just hours before the new lockdown ends - will be allowed to go ahead.
What happens if you break the rules?
Image source, Getty Images
You may be told to go home or removed from where you are and returned home.
You could have to pay a fixed penalty notice of £60. This will rise to £120 for the second breach.
Or you could have criminal proceedings brought against you and, if found guilty, you will have to pay a fine.
What happens next?
The first minister has suggested there will not be a return to local lockdown measures in Wales once the 17 days are over.
Instead of different communities having different rules, Mr Drakeford has stressed the need for national rules, which will apply in all parts of Wales, so that people will know who they can spend time with over the festive period.
It remains to be seen what these measures will be.

After 10 days of fruitless talks, ministers have told regional leaders they must agree a deal on moving to the highest level of coronavirus restrictions by midday on Tuesday, or the government will take action. Mayor Andy Burnham and council leader Sir Richard Leese want more financial support for businesses and individuals, but say the idea of an additional hardship fund was "taken off the table" on Monday. Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick insists it was never on. In our political editor's view, it's a pretty extraordinary and risky fight for both sides.

PSG 1-2 Man Utd: Scott McTominay played first half with one eye - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Marcus Rashford repeated his late heroics against Paris St-Germain with a superb winner as Manchester United marked their return to the Champions League with a fine win at the home of last season's beaten finalists.
Rashford's stoppage-time penalty sealed a famous victory at the Parc des Princes 18 months ago and the England striker was again on target to ensure Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side took maximum points from their opening match in a formidable group.
The visitors had excelled in a first half which saw Bruno Fernandes stroke them ahead with a twice-taken penalty.
But the multiple French champions were far stronger and threatening in the second half and deservedly drew level when United striker Anthony Martial headed into his own net.
David de Gea had to put in a much-improved display in United's goal, making strong saves to deny PSG's superstar duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
And the sides looked set to share the points when Rashford collected a pass from substitute Paul Pogba, rolled away from a defender and fired in off the base of the post from 20 yards.
Solskjaer finds a way
Rashford's penalty completed a stunning comeback in 2019 which all but cemented the case for Solskjaer's temporary reign to be made permanent, turning a delighted Rio Ferdinand - the former United defender turned BT Sport pundit - into a meme in the process.
Solskjaer has not been able to maintain that blistering success since becoming full-time manager, but once again the Norwegian was able to conjure a victory against the odds.
Without captain Harry Maguire and midfielder Pogba, United played a back five - with defender Axel Tuanzebe being summoned from the wilderness and shining on his first appearance of 2020.
Twice the 22-year-old kept stride with the rapid Mbappe and made fine challenges in an impressive display.
At the other end, United's opener came from a more familiar route - Fernandes converting a penalty after Martial was tripped. It was, remarkably, the 27th spot-kick awarded to United since the start of last season.
Fernandes, the captain on the night, actually missed for the second time in three days, but Keylor Navas was clearly off his line before the save and the video assistant referee called it back. Fernandes went the same way; the goalkeeper went the other.
PSG looked far more like their old selves after the break and United had to defend well - but Rashford was guilty of wasting a couple of chances on the counter-attack before his brilliant late winner.
Same old PSG?
The rebuilding of Paris St-Germain has long been aimed solely at European glory - with domestic monopoly tied up years ago - and the run to the final just 58 days ago looked like a key juncture.
Thomas Tuchel's side is packed with blistering talent, but question marks over their consistency have long been raised and this was another frustrating display.
They moved the ball far too slowly in the first half and deserved to find themselves behind, even if De Gea was called into a double save from Angel di Maria and Layvin Kurzawa.
Tuchel moved Di Maria deeper at half-time, sending on Everton loanee Moise Kean up front, and his side were better. De Gea again made a flying save to deny Mbappe after a typically brilliant run, and Kurzawa hit the crossbar with a miscued cross.
Martial gave them a route back into the match when he nodded Neymar's inswinging corner into his own net, but United improved when Pogba came on.
With RB Leipzig - semi-finalists last season - up and running with a win, it is now Tuchel's side who need to click into gear fast just to make it out of Group H.
A 16-year wait - the stats
Paris St-Germain suffered a home defeat in a Champions League group game for the first time in 25 games, since losing 1-3 to CSKA Moscow in December 2004.
Manchester United have scored nine own goals in the Champions League, more than any other side.
Since the start of last season, United have been awarded 27 penalties and scored 22 of them, both highs among sides in Europe's big five leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) in that time.
Since his debut for Manchester United in February, Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals than any other Premier League player (27 - 16 goals, 11 assists).
Fernandes has scored 11 of his 12 penalties for United, more than any other player from Europe's big five leagues in that time.
Anthony Martial is the second French player to score an own goal in the Champions League against French opposition, after Jeremy Mathieu for Barcelona, also against Paris St-Germain, in April 2015.
PSG's Neymar has failed to score in four consecutive Champions League appearances for the first time since November 2013 (his first five games in the competition).

If you and your boyfriend both live alone and in England , you can form a support bubble , which means that you can spend as much as time as you want in each other ’ s company , inside or outside a house .
You don ’ t have to keep a 2m distance from one another , and you can stay overnight at each other ’ s house .
If you are living alone , and your partner is in a shared household ( or vice versa ) , matters get complicated .
You can still form a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will also be with his household , and it would be the only bubble allowed to that household .
What this means is that if one of your boyfriend ’ s housemates has a partner who is - like you - living elsewhere and alone , that couple will be prevented from meeting up .
Support bubbles are for the benefit of people who are living alone ( or alone with children ) .
If both you and your boyfriend are living in shared households , you are not allowed to form one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and at a distance of 2m from each other .
Northern Ireland has also introduced support bubbles while Scotland and Wales now allow a similar arrangement known as `` extended households '' .
In all of these , if one person taking part develops symptoms , every member of the bubble or extended household must self-isolate .

How is the government going to protect vulnerable children who remain unvaccinated? My son has cystic fibrosis and will now be forced to mix - he has not had any access to vaccination.
Because your son is in a clinical risk group - and as long as he is over five - he should soon be offered two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. You should be contacted by your GP or specialist team to arrange this.
With regard to the dangers of mixing, the UK has also recommended that Covid vaccines are offered to all children aged 5 to 11, not just those at high clinical risk. This is likely to start in England in April. Children are generally at much lower risk of becoming seriously ill from a Covid infection, although some do still get sick and need hospital care. Over-12s can already be vaccinated, and it's hoped that extending the rollout to younger age groups will help protect even more children from the risk of catching and spreading Covid.
Schools are expected to work with and support families who have concerns about a pupil returning to the classroom. It is compulsory for school-age children to attend, even if they were previously shielding - the only exception is a small number of children whose clinician or GP has advised them not to attend. If you have concerns about this, you should talk to your doctor.

Covid: What can you do in Wales-wide lockdown? Published 23 October 2020
Image source, Getty Images
Major restrictions to people's lives have been introduced after Wales entered a 17-day "firebreak" lockdown.
Until Monday 9 November people living in Wales are being told to stay at home.
Pubs, bars and restaurants, gyms, and all non-essential shops have been made to close.
But what does it mean, and what can you do from 23 October to 9 November without breaking the law?
Can I leave my house?
Image source, Getty Images
Similar to during the first lockdown in March, people are being told to stay at home in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus in Wales.
You are only allowed to leave your house to go to the shops to buy essential food and medication, get health care and treatment, to provide care, or to take exercise.
You should also work from home unless it is not possible.
Can I go to the shops?
Image source, Getty Images
All but essential shops had been told to close from 18:00 BST on Friday.
While people are not limited to their local authority, they are being told to shop as close to home as possible and not travel long distances.
Supermarkets, pharmacies, post offices and banks remain open, but are being told not to sell non-essential items, such as clothing, toys and homeware.
Can I see friends?
No. Under the new rules people cannot mix with others they do not live with.
From Friday you are not meant to meet others indoors, or socialise outdoors, such as in parks or people's gardens.
I live alone - can I see my family, partner or friend?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, People living alone can meet another household indoors, under the rules
During local lockdowns people living alone were allowed to meet one other household indoors from their local areas, after concerns about isolation.
This has not changed, with those who live alone or in a single parent households being the only ones able to meet a household they do not live with.
This has to be the same one every time. But they can live anywhere, due to this being a national lockdown, however, the Welsh Government has urged people to form an extended household as "locally as possible".
Over the coming days, expect to see a return to the days of Zoom chats, virtual parties, people waving at each other from the end of drives, and people leaving shopping on door steps.
Can my children go to school?
Image source, PA Media
Primary and special schools will re-open as normal on 2 November after the half-term break - there is no extra time off.
In secondary schools only pupils in Years 7 and 8 will go back to class.
Pupils sitting exams will be able to go in to take them but all other pupils will continue their learning from home for an extra week.
What about childcare?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Breakfast clubs and after school care is "essential" for many families
Childcare facilities are staying open during the 17 days in a bid to keep schools open.
Grandparents and other relatives can still care for children, but only if no other methods of childcare are available.
Where parents live apart, children will be allowed to continue to stay with both parents, with arrangements continuing as normal.
Can I go to the pub or a hotel?
Image source, Getty Images
No - from 18:00 BST on Friday pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels closed for 17 days.
This is similar to the first Wales-wide lockdown back in March. Beer gardens will be shut, and people are being warned not to drink in their friends' homes or gardens, or to gather in parks.
Pubs and food establishments are able to operate as takeaways.
Hotels and businesses in the tourism sector will not reopen until 9 November.
Can I go on holiday or visit my second home?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, It is illegal to go on holiday in Wales or to travel abroad during lockdown
No, travelling to go on holiday in Wales, or outside Wales, including abroad, is not classed as "essential" travel during lockdown.
If you have pre-booked and paid for a holiday, the Welsh Government is advising people to contact their travel company to discuss the situation.
If you live outside of Wales or within Wales, travelling to stay, visit or check on your second home is illegal.
I'm worried about a friend or loved-one - can I visit?
You can travel to provide care or to help someone in need - such as an older person, a child or a vulnerable adult - even if they are not part of your household.
You can travel to visit someone on "compassionate grounds".
This may apply if you are worried someone is struggling with being isolated due to the restrictions, is having issues with their mental or physical health, has recently lost a loved one, or you are concerned about their wellbeing or welfare.
My family live in England - can I see them?
Image source, Getty Images
Travel across the border is now limited to "essential travel".
This includes providing care, or if you need to visit on compassionate grounds. If you live in a single person or single parent household you can travel across the border to visit your extended household.
People who live in Wales but work over the border are able to travel, if they cannot work from home.
Can I visit someone in a care home or hospital?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Care home visits have to be prearranged
Indoor visits to care homes may be allowed but only in "exceptional circumstances", such as for end-of-life visits.
But this is up to local councils and individual homes to decide if it can be done safely, and must be prearranged.
Similar rules apply to hospital and children's home visits.
Can I go to the gym?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Swimming pools and gyms had only recently reopened
No - gyms, pools and leisure centres are now closed for the 17 days.
However local parks, playgrounds and outdoor gyms remain open.
Can I go for a walk, bike ride or run?
Image source, Reuters
Yes - under the new national lockdown you can leave your house for exercise.
Unlike back in March, there is no limit to how many times you can leave the house to exercise or how far you can run, cycle, walk or jog, or to where - as local lockdown boundaries have now ended.
But exercising with others, such as running and cycling clubs, is not allowed, and you should start your exercise from home.
People are being asked not to drive anywhere to do sport as exercise, unless they have specific health reasons, and people are banned from driving "significant distances" to get to mountains, beaches and beauty spots.
The government is also asking people to avoid activities which involve a "significant degree of risk", such as open water swimming and water sports.
Golf and tennis clubs are required to close during the period of the lockdown.
What about community support groups?
The Welsh Government has confirmed that community support groups, who meet on non NHS premises, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, will have to temporarily stop.
This is due to gathering restrictions, and rules meaning you are not allowed to meet others from outside your own household.
A spokesman said they would be able to meet online.

The autumn Internationals and professional football are allowed to continue behind closed doors, and be broadcast into people's homes.
Sportspeople who work and earn a living through sport are allowed to continue working, and like everyone else they can leave home to do so if they cannot work from home.
All community, amateur sport and training is suspended during the 17 day period.
I live in a house share - what can I do?
People living in houses of multiple occupation (HMOs) who are single are able to "bubble up" with another household in Wales.
This also applies to students living in HMOs and to people in supported living arrangements with individual tenancies.
Can I drive or go on holiday?

You can travel, but only for a "reasonable" cause.
These include trips to buy essential items - such as food and medication - to seek medical help, get a coronavirus test, or to deliver care.
You can also travel to work, but only if you are a critical worker, or you do a job where you cannot work from home.
Travelling to go on holiday is against the law.
Also, people from outside Wales cannot visit on holiday.
Will public transport be running?
Image source, PA Media
Yes, but with reduced services.
Economy Minister Ken Skates said he had asked train and bus operators to cut down their services, particularly outside peak hours.
He said services would be similar to those running in August, and said it was "imperative" the remaining spaces were available for key workers and essential journeys.
Taxis are allowed to run if they have measures to cut the risk of transmitting the virus in the car.
But they should only be used for essential journeys.
What if I am at university?

Cases have been confirmed at university halls of residence, with thousands of students self-isolating on campuses across Wales.
During the 17 days students have been told not to head home, but to stay where they are.First Minister Mark Drakeford added: "In the same way we are asking everyone to stay at home, if students have reading weeks or half-term they will also need to stay at home in their university accommodation."
Do I have to shield again if I am high risk?
During the last lockdown thousands of vulnerable people with medical conditions and the elderly where told to stay in the house and shield, due to being high-risk from the virus.
However, the Welsh Government has not re-introduced shielding for such people.
The first minister said this was because if everyone stuck strictly to the rules the risk of exposure would be reduced.
People are being advised to shop at quieter times of the day if they are high risk.
What about health services?
The Welsh Government has stressed that people should still seek medical help.
Dentists, opticians, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractors, osteopaths, and counselling and mental health services will remain open.
Can I have my hair cut or a beauty treatment?

Many people resorted to home cuts during the last national lockdown back in March, with hairdressers trying to repair dodgy shaves and cuts when they reopened.
Once again, you will have to wait until you can see your hairdresser again.
Hair salons, barbers, and beauticians are now closed until the end of the national lockdown.
Can I get married, go to a funeral or go to my place of worship?

During this 17-day lockdown places of worship are closed to congregations, apart from the holding of weddings, civil partnerships and funerals.
Numbers allowed at ceremonies will depend on how many people can fit in the venue, with social distancing in place.
Receptions are banned once again.
Funerals can go ahead, with social distancing in place, and numbers depending on the venue size.
You will not be allowed to host a wake or any gathering following the funeral.
Can I move house?
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, House viewings have been suspended from Friday
Yes, you can move house, if you cannot delay the moving date until after the short lockdown period is over.
However, property viewings cannot take place during the circuit-breaker period and high street estate agencies are required to close.
What about my car and home repairs?
Work can be carried out in people's homes, for example by tradespeople, as long as it is managed in a safe way and both the worker and household members have no symptoms of coronavirus.
But the Welsh Government is recommending people consider if the work can be safely deferred until after the lockdown.
No work should be carried out in any home where someone is isolating, unless it is to repair a fault which poses a direct risk to people's safety.
If the MoT on your vehicle is due, you should still take it to the garage.
Driving lessons are banned, and driving tests are not going ahead.
What about Halloween and Bonfire Night?
Image source, Getty Images
This will be an autumn like no other.
With people banned from meeting outdoors, trick-or-treating and fireworks are both off.
The ban will be "self-policing", says First Minister Mark Drakeford.
However, planned Remembrance Day events on Sunday 8 November - just hours before the new lockdown ends - will be allowed to go ahead.
What happens if you break the rules?
Image source, Getty Images
You may be told to go home or removed from where you are and returned home.
You could have to pay a fixed penalty notice of £60. This will rise to £120 for the second breach.
Or you could have criminal proceedings brought against you and, if found guilty, you will have to pay a fine.
What happens next?
The first minister has suggested there will not be a return to local lockdown measures in Wales once the 17 days are over.
Instead of different communities having different rules, Mr Drakeford has stressed the need for national rules, which will apply in all parts of Wales, so that people will know who they can spend time with over the festive period.
It remains to be seen what these measures will be.

How is the government going to protect vulnerable children who remain unvaccinated? My son has cystic fibrosis and will now be forced to mix - he has not had any access to vaccination.
Because your son is in a clinical risk group - and as long as he is over five - he should soon be offered two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. You should be contacted by your GP or specialist team to arrange this.
With regard to the dangers of mixing, the UK has also recommended that Covid vaccines are offered to all children aged 5 to 11, not just those at high clinical risk. This is likely to start in England in April. Children are generally at much lower risk of becoming seriously ill from a Covid infection, although some do still get sick and need hospital care. Over-12s can already be vaccinated, and it's hoped that extending the rollout to younger age groups will help protect even more children from the risk of catching and spreading Covid.
Schools are expected to work with and support families who have concerns about a pupil returning to the classroom. It is compulsory for school-age children to attend, even if they were previously shielding - the only exception is a small number of children whose clinician or GP has advised them not to attend. If you have concerns about this, you should talk to your doctor.
