In the daily statement, Dr Giri Shankar, incident director for the outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: ““Welsh Government has announced that from yesterday, pubs, cafes and restaurants in Wales can reopen to customers outdoors.
“Up to six people from six households are able to meet, with social distancing and hygiene measures in place.
“Outdoor attractions, such as zoos and theme parks, can also reopen. Wedding receptions and funerals can again be held outdoors at regulated premises with up to 30 people. Organised outdoor activities, such as sport activities limited to 30 people, are also able to resume.
“From Monday, 3 May, supervised indoor activities for children can resume, along with indoor organised activities for up to 15 adults (such as exercise classes and swimming lessons), and community centres can reopen.
“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.
“The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that pregnant women should be offered the Covid-19 vaccine at the same time as the rest of the population, based on their age and clinical risk group. JCVI advice is followed in Wales.
“As there is more experience of the use of the Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna vaccines in pregnancy those vaccines are therefore the preferred vaccines to offer to pregnant women.
