BBC News Published media captionWith face mask laws being scrapped in England, shoppers in Wales are divided over Covid measures Covid restrictions will not be abandoned "wholesale" when they are next reviewed on Wednesday, Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has said. With cases on the increase, he said he was "not persuaded that this is a moment for such an approach". The UK government has faced criticism from some scientists over its plans for a "freedom day" on 19 July. However, Mr Drakeford said the four nations were moving in "broadly" the same direction. The comments in the Senedd came after Welsh government advisers warned of a risk of a wave of deaths despite vaccines "holding up" in the race against the Delta variant.
