Some tourism accommodation could reopen in six weeks the Welsh Government said this morning.

Mark Drakeford will today announce restrictions around non-essential retail and close contact services - like hairdressers, could be changed at the next review announcement on March 12.

This morning Mr Drakeford and health minister Vaughan Gething added that they will also consider reopening self contained tourism accommodation at the following review at the start of April.

A further confirmation of that would be expected in the next review to give operators three weeks to prepare.  They said talks will take place with the sector over the coming weeks.

Easter is on the first weekend of April.

Mr Gething said today: "We are considering if non-essential retail may be able to return in another thtee weeks and if, and this is a big if, all the data is moving in the right direction whether we'll able to move away from our stay at home message at that point.

"There is also another really big if about whether potentially self contained accommodation may be able to open in a further three weeks, around Easter.

"All of these things depend on the data moving in the right direction.
