Wales will be moving into level four alert from December 28 to control the spread of coronavirus. The Welsh Government announced on Wednesday that non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure centres and attractions would have to close. While schools, colleges, places of worship and parks would remain open. The third lockdown since March, businesses and community representatives from across north and mid Powys have reacted to the latest plan to control the virus. In Presteigne, Dale Gorman, landlord of the Royal Oak, said everyone is extremely disappointed . What would usually be our busiest time of the year has been completely written off. It is this period that helps get many small businesses through the quieter months of January and February, he said.
