Lee Waters, the deputy minister for economy and transport, said a second lockdown, similar to the one ongoing is Wales, is likely in the new year

A second fire-break lockdown is likely in Wales in early January or February, a Welsh Government minister has warned.

The country is currently in the middle of a two-week national lockdown to try and control the spread of coronavirus.

And it will not be the last such measure, according to deputy minister for economy and transport Lee Waters, reports Wales Online.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Sunday Supplement programme he said people should be prepared to come in and out of lockdowns until a Covid-19 vaccine is found.

He said: “This is not the last lockdown we are going to see.”
