In Wales, non-essential retail remains closed.
A decision on whether they'll reopen will be taken at our next review on June 18th, based on the latest scientific and medical advice.
Businesses should prepare for reopening by making sure they can adapt to follow the 2m rule.
For now, you must avoid all non-essential travel.
Travelling to holiday home or a second home is not permitted. Police have powers to enforce this.
Please stay local for now, and help stop the spread of coronavirus.
Stay home. Lives depend on it.
