Mark Drakeford latest announcement: What time is the next update?

Mark Drakeford is expected to make an announcement today to detail Wales' next steps out of lockdown.

The First Minister will lead a press briefing following the latest lockdown review, and is set to confirm the move to alert level 2. Level 2 means that Covid-19 is present in UK, but the number of cases and transmission is low. You can read more on what this means here.

The Welsh Government already announced earlier this week that cafes, pubs and restaurants would be allowed to open indoors from Monday, May 17.
