“Self-contained” holiday accommodation in Wales could reopen in time for the Easter period, first Minister Mark Drakeford has said.

Drakeford told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme:

I met our tourism taskforce yesterday, we’ll be having some detailed discussions with them now over the next couple of weeks to see if there’s anything that we might be able to do around the Easter period. The most that would be would be the reopening of self-contained accommodation where there aren’t shared facilities and there isn’t social mixing.

I don’t believe it will be a wholesale reopening, we are going to do things in the way that Sage and the WHO recommend - carefully, step-by-step, always assessing the impact of any actions that we take. But if it is possible from 15 March to begin the reopening of some aspects of non-essential retail and personal services such as hairdressing then of course that is what we would want to do.
