Ask us your questions about the latest lockdown rules and share your thoughts on Mark Drakeford's coronavirus plan

Between 3.30pm and 5pm today WalesOnline reporters will be on hand to answer your questions about coronavirus in the comments below.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has announced Wales will move fully into alert level one from July 17 and said he hoped to move into alert level zero on August 7 if the public health situation allows.

From that date, there will also be no legal limits on the number of people who can meet others indoors, including in private homes. All premises would be able to open and most, but not all, restrictions will be removed.

Mr Drakeford will formally announce the results of the cabinet's review to the Senedd at 3pm followed by a press conference at 5.15pm. There will be live updates throughout the day here.

Though coronavirus rates in Wales are skyrocketing with 737 more positive cases announced yesterday bringing the infection rate to 138.3 cases per 100,000 population, deaths and hospitalizations have remained relatively low compared to other waves due to impact of the vaccine.
