The Circuit Breaker lockdown will take place from Friday, October 23 at 6pm until Monday, November 9 at 12.01am.

BiKBBI reports work “can continue as long as it is managed in a safe way and both the worker and household members are well and have no symptoms of Coronavirus”.

However, it recommends people consider whether the work can be safely deferred until after the two week lockdown.

The BiKBBI also recommends that no work should be carried out in any household where someone is isolating, unless to repair a fault which poses a direct risk to people’s safety.

If attendance is unavoidable, the BiKBBI says additional precautions should be taken to keep workers and householders separate to each other.

In addition, no work should be carried out by a tradesperson who has Coronavirus symptoms.

Public Health Wales can provide advice to tradespeople and households and you can find out more details about the Welsh circuit break on the Government website.
