Covid 19 is an illness that can affect your lungs and airways and is caused by a form of coronavirus.
Symptoms can be mild, moderate, severe or fatal.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring specialist treatment. However, older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness
Regulation 16 of the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 imposes obligations on those responsible for premises that are open to the public or where work takes place :
