Pubs, cafes and restaurants will begin to reopen outdoors in Wales from 13 July, if cases of coronavirus continue to fall.

The minister for international relations and Welsh language, Eluned Morgan will set out the phased reopening plan for the hospitality sector - including bars, cafes, pubs and restaurants - at the daily press conference later today.

It follows a rapid review of the hospitality sector in Wales to look at how the industry can safely be reopened.

The first phase will see the reopening of outdoor spaces owned by business and subject to existing licences – this is if conditions continue to be favourable and subject to the outcome of next week’s review of the regulations.

The reopening of indoor services will be considered later, depending on the success of outdoor opening; the ongoing coronavirus situation in Wales and other measures businesses put in place to reduce the risk of transmission, such as pre-booking, table service only, and even the use of apps.
