A scientist has spoken of his "frustration" since offering university laboratories to help test for coronavirus in Wales about three weeks ago.

Prof Andrew Godkin from Cardiff University said they have been "treading water" while awaiting a decision to boost testing levels.

During the Welsh Government briefing on Friday, First Minister Mark Drakeford said that universities had come forward and "it is part of our plan and we will continue to work with them to make sure that we maximise whatever contribution they are able to make towards that testing effort.

"We are, I think, in the final stages of identifying the capacity that they have, the staffing they have. It all has to be adapted.

"I have been very heartened by the way in which universities have come forward offering their facilities to be part of this national effort."

Dealing with the death of a loved one is one of the most difficult things we have to go through in life. Now, coronavirus is making it even harder for people to say goodbye.

The stark reality is that, to keep everyone safe from the virus, the very sick and dying cannot have their family around them. Funerals cannot be conducted as planned. And people cannot grieve together.

Lauren Turner and Alice Evans look at the ways people are celebrating the lives and mourning the loss of loved ones while restricted by infection control measures.

A number of British Airways cabin crew have contracted the coronavirus when operating long haul flights over the past two weeks.

Unions are calling on airlines to do more to minimise the exposure of staff.

But BA pilots and cabin crew say the airline was slow to take action to protect them from the virus.

BA said it has taken steps to reduce contact between customers and crew, adding that personal protective gear, like masks and gloves, was available.

However, one pilot told the BBC that equipment was not always accessible and that staff sometimes travelled "shoulder-to-shoulder" on buses at airports.

Police officers across Wales are reiterating the 'stay home' message, and they are out on patrol to ensure people are adhering to government guidelines.

Puffins outnumber people by about 4,400 to one on Skomer, off the Pembrokeshire coast, with half the world's Manx shearwaters there too.

There are few people to bother the birds for most of the year.

But when warden Nathan Wilkie developed a cough after a mainland trip, one of the UK's most remote self-isolations began.

Mr Wilkie, 29, returned with fellow warden Sylwia Zbijewska after a break to the mainland in March and, when he started to cough, he decided to take precautions.

"I'm sort of showing potential symptoms and it's difficult to know if it is coronavirus or not," he said.

"In theory, we've come in contact with very few people, but because myself and Sylwia share accommodation, we're both in quarantine basically."

Rural vets are taking a variety of steps to maintain social distancing.

Farm vets and food chain workers are classed as key workers in the coronavirus crisis, the British Veterinary Association has said.

But vets say maintaining a two-metre distance can be difficult for some tasks - especially with larger animals.

And other animal care workers are also struggling with the new restrictions.

People are being reminded to stay at home in spite of any sunny weather this weekend, as the coronavirus fight continues.

First Minister Mark Drakeford was joined by police forces, local authorities and national parks in calls for people to remain indoors.

Mr Drakeford said it was no time to breach curbs "tempting as it may be".
