Some tourism accommodation could reopen in six weeks the Welsh Government said this morning.
Mark Drakeford will today announce restrictions around non-essential retail and close contact services - like hairdressers, could be changed at the next review announcement on March 12.
This morning Mr Drakeford and health minister Vaughan Gething added that they will also consider reopening self contained tourism accommodation at the following review at the start of April.
A further confirmation of that would be expected in the next review to give operators three weeks to prepare. They said talks will take place with the sector over the coming weeks.
Easter is on the first weekend of April.
Mr Gething said today: "We are considering if non-essential retail may be able to return in another thtee weeks and if, and this is a big if, all the data is moving in the right direction whether we'll able to move away from our stay at home message at that point.
"There is also another really big if about whether potentially self contained accommodation may be able to open in a further three weeks, around Easter.
"All of these things depend on the data moving in the right direction.
"We are trying to give people an idea of a path to the future if we can stay on top of coronavirus and all carry on doing the right thing
"Doing it in stages allows us to understand the impact of unlocking."
He said he hoped this gives Wales a "sustainable" exit from lockdown.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Drakeford said: "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.
"But if we could do that - and six weeks is a very long time in this business - if we could do that in six weeks' time, I know that that would be a boost to the industry and a big boost to hundreds of thousands of families in Wales for whom going down the caravan for a few days or a break would be a very welcome prospect."
