Plans for outdoor Mother's Day meet-ups today are set as a relaxation of Wales' lockdown rules are in force with up to four adults from two households able to meet up in a private garden. The stay-at-home rule has now been replaced by a requirement to stay local.
The new rules mean people can now visit others in their garden and other outdoor areas at home. Many restaurants have diversified during lockdown with some offering takeaway meals and cakes. Also, from yesterday, designated solo visitors can also enter care homes.
Outdoor sports facilities such as golf and tennis have also begun reopening following Friday's lockdown easing. Wales' "stay at home" law switched to "stay local" yesterday and there are guidances on what that means, according to where people live. It is only likely to last for two weeks, however, ending on March 27 if conditions allow.
Dyfed-Powys Police Federation representative Roger Webb said forces had not been given any information ahead of the announcement on how officers should engage on the new rules and enforce them. He said they would use common sense and work in the best way possible to make them effective.
A third of people in Wales have now had their first Covid-19 vaccine dose, according to latest figures. So far, 34.4% of the Welsh population have had a first dose and 7.9% have had a full vaccination, according to data from Public Health Wales (PHW).
The latest day saw 27,542 people get a first dose and 12,672 get their second - so 40,214 people overall on Friday. It means more than 250,000 people have now received their full dose of the vaccine.
A total of 1,084,329 people in Wales have been given a first dose while 250,026 have had the second dose and, therefore, the full course. The data also shows a 34.6% of care home residents and 23.2% of 75 to 79-year-olds have now had both doses.
