Let's watch the game at home
It's going to be a great game tomorrow and we can hardly wait. But please don't be tempted to invite friends over to watch the match together because meeting up indoors can help Covid spread. Let's share our match predictions, not the virus.
Thank you and let's keep following the rules
Thanks to your efforts Swansea has got some of the lowest Covid-19 infection rates in Wales. Let's keep it up this weekend so whether you're heading for the shops or for some fresh air for exercise, remember to keep your distance from others.
