The national picture: There were also no new Covid-related deaths in Wales today – which sees the overall number of deaths remain at 5,548 – while just 33 new cases in total were recorded throughout the country. More than half of local authority areas in Wales had no deaths involving Covid, weekly figures from the ONS show. There were no Covid deaths in the Hywel Dda health board area for a second week while Cardiff saw no Covid deaths for the first time in seven months. Deaths of people with Covid-19 fell slightly to 14 in the week up to April 16 – 71 per cent fewer than a month before.
The national picture: There have been two more Covid-related deaths in Wales – which sees the overall number of deaths brought to 5,548. Today’s figures come as pubs, cafes and restaurants in Wales reopened to customers outdoors. Up to six people from six households are now 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. Hospitality is set to reopen indoors from May 17, along with increased limits on those who can attend organised events, but this depends on case rates and the make-up of the Welsh Government after the Senedd election on May 6.
