People over the age of 65 are set to be invited to receive their first coronavirus vaccine dose from next week, according to reports.
Earlier this week, prime minister Boris Johnson urged UK residents in priority groups who had not yet taken up the offer to receive a first dose of the vaccine to “come forward”.
Meanwhile in Wales, first minister Mark Drakeford has said the country could be in a position to ease some Covid-19 restrictions in the hospitality and tourism industries by Easter.
The first minister said reopening remained a "very big if" due to uncertainties surrounding new variants but the number of new infections reported in Wales is on a downward curve.
Mr Drakeford’s comments came as the Office for National Statistics’ weekly survey found that infection levels fell in the week ending 6 February in all of the UK nations compared to the week before it.
