Coronavirus restrictions are set to relax further in Wales as cinemas, museums, and beauty salons have been given the go-ahead to re-open on Monday.
First Minister Mark Drakeford has also confirmed that tourist accommodation with shared facilities, such as campsites and all hotels, will also be able to re-open on Saturday, July 25.
A new rule making it compulsory to wear a face covering on public transport, which includes taxis, will also come into effect on Monday as part of the latest phased relaxing of restrictions in Wales.
This is part of the phased re-opening of Wales' hospitality, leisure and retail sectors.
The following businesses are able to open their doors on Monday:
- beauty salons
- nail parlours
- tattoo shops
- cinemas
- amusement arcades
- museums and galleries
The coronavirus regulations will also be amended to enable the housing market to fully re-open. However it is up to business owners to decide whether to re-open or not.

Making the announcement on Friday, Mr Drakeford said: “Thanks to the efforts we have all made to reduce the spread of the virus, we are taking further steps to re-open more of Wales.
“More of our retail, leisure, hospitality and tourism sectors, which play such an important part in our economy, will start to welcome back customers and guests from tomorrow.
“As more places start to re-open we must get used to some changes to help protect ourselves and the people working in these businesses.
"This may mean having to book ahead or giving our details to the places we are visiting to help our Test Trace Protect service, in the event there’s an outbreak of coronavirus.
“It’s the responsibility of all of us to follow these new rules so we can keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.
“Coronavirus has not gone away. But if we all work together we can keep Wales safe.”
The next formal review of the regulations will be carried out by July 30 where the Welsh Government will be considering the options of pubs, bars, cafés and restaurants indoors. The current plan is that they will be able to do so from August 3.
So far 1,548 people in Wales have died after contracting Covid-19 while there have been 17,030 confirmed cases of the virus.
