No deaths have been recorded in Wales today, leaving the total at 5,542 since the pandemic began.

Dr Christopher Williams, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “Welsh Government has announced that six people (not including children under 11 years old or carers) be able to meet outdoors from Saturday, 24 April, without a restriction on the number of households.

"The current rule states that six people from two households can meet outdoors.

“People should observe social distancing when meeting with others from outside their household or support bubble.

“The rules on meeting other people indoors remain unchanged.

“In addition, Welsh Government confirmed that outdoor hospitality can resume on Monday, 26 April.

“We would like to remind the public that coronavirus is still circulating in our communities and a large number of people have not been fully vaccinated.

"It is therefore vital that people observe social distancing, where face coverings when in indoor spaces, and wash hands regularly. These actions will help to prevent transmission of the virus.

“Further to the Welsh Government’s announcement last week, people who cannot work from home are now able to access free lateral flow self-test kits.

“The rapid coronavirus tests will be available from local test sites across Wales.”
