Police say urban rather than rural areas saw "an uptick" over the weekend in the number of people who "may not be conforming" with the lockdown rules, according to Wales' first minister.

Mark Drakeford told the Welsh Government's daily press conference the message had come from his usual Monday morning update from Wales' four chief constables.

He said: "If there was a pattern over the weekend in increased activity it was actually concentrated in urban Wales rather than rural Wales".

Mr Drakeford said police had reported "a bit of an uptick in the number of people out and about and may not be conforming with the rules" but it was "an urban more than a rural phenomenon".

But he added: "The message is clear...we are still in lockdown - that applies to me and to you".

He said the evidence for not observing the lockdown rules was "fairly sporadic".

A probe into problems with reporting deaths at the Betsi Cadwaladr health board in north Wales will likely say that not all parts of the Welsh NHS are using the same reporting mechanism, First Minister Mark Drakeford told the Welsh Government's daily press conference.

“I will expect that to be put right,” he said.

Earlier, Wales’ Chief Medical Officer Dr Frank Atherton said an error that led to the health board not reporting deaths daily was because it had not used a system set up by Public Health Wales for use by the nation's seven health boards.

Mr Drakeford said he expects a report on the issue by the end of the day.

He added that figures for the area of mid and west Wales covered served by the Hywel Dda board area are not currently being reported as specifically within its boundaries because “when figures are low, there is a danger that patient confidentiality might be breached”.

But the first minister said he would expect figures from Hywel Dda to be included in the total of deaths.

“And if that has not been taking place properly, then I would expect this report to address that and to put that right as well,” he added.

Pembrokeshire council chief executive Ian Westley, external said on Friday that 20 people in the county - part of the Hywel Dda board area - had died with coronavirus.

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has called on the UK Government to "step into this space" and help steel makers through the global challenge of coronavirus.

It comes after Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock said Tata Steel needs about £500m of government support to get through the pandemic.

When asked about potential Welsh Government support, Mr Drakeford said: "We've always demonstrated our willingness to support the steel industry.

"The scale of the global challenge to steel makers everywhere means that the UK Government has to step into this space.

"There will be things that can be done locally and the Welsh Government is committed to provide the help.

"But the global nature means that local solutions by themselves will not be sufficient."

Mr Drakeford also spoke about the challenges facing Airbus and said the Welsh Government is using their advanced manufacturing research centre to produce ventilators.

But he added: "The difficulties facing the airline industry go far beyond Wales.

"We will play our part, but we need a solution that addresses the global nature of the problem," he said.

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford as Tuesday marked the annual International Workers’ Memorial Day, he would "be joining thousands of people throughout Wales in honouring a minute’s silence at 11am to reflect on those who have died in the coronavirus pandemic".

Rhondda Cynon Taf council has confirmed it will reopen its cemeteries, external from Tuesday, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

It says people will need to follow social distancing guidance while visiting its sites.

Cardiff Council reopened four cemeteries on Saturday.

About eight councils in Wales initially closed their cemeteries due to the pandemic.

Mark Drakeford says there has been an "overwhelming response" from Welsh companies offering to make personal protective equipment (PPE).

"We have had almost 1,000 enquiries and offers to date, half of these have been about PPE or medtech," the first minister said.

"We can’t simply rely on supplies from overseas – we have to have a homegrown supply of essential equipment.

"As part of our ongoing efforts to build up local businesses to make more of the everyday goods we use in Wales, we’ll be looking at how we can make more of the PPE we need closer to home".

"For the first time, we are self-sufficient in scrubs in Wales – we’re making 5,000 a week, bringing back overseas jobs and anchoring them in our Welsh economy."

First Minister Mark Drakeford says the Welsh Government's regular international suppliers of personal protective equipment (PPE) have cancelled contracts, and officials have worked hard to establish new sources.

He said some supplies are taking longer to arrive and in almost all cases the cost of PPE has risen.

"Over the weekend, we received a shipment of 10 million [Type 2R] masks from China. These will be for use in Wales but we will also be able to offer mutual aid to other parts of the UK if and when needed," Mr Drakeford said.

"We have also had a generous offer of masks for Wales from the Embassy of Vietnam.

"We are working to secure further orders of PPE from a number of other international suppliers."

First Minister Mark Drakeford says more than 56 million pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) have been provided to health and social care workers in Wales during the coronavirus outbreak.

Speaking at the Welsh Government's daily coronavirus press conference, Mr Drakeford said: "We have provided PPE to hospital and primary care staff, including to all pharmacies, emergency dental clinics, optometrists and GP surgeries.

"We are making deliveries twice a week to local authority stores for onward distribution to social care settings."

He added: "Unlike in England, PPE for care homes is free in Wales.

"We have been very fortunate that we’ve had enough PPE in Wales but two items – masks and fluid-resistant gowns – are under the most pressure."

Mr Drakeford added that "enormous efforts" had been made "to ensure all frontline health and care staff have the personal protective equipment they need to do their jobs and to feel confident doing their jobs".

The Welsh Varsity games are going virtual because of coronavirus.

Organisers wrote online that Liberty Stadium and Swansea University's sports ground Sketty Lane would be swapped for Facebook and Instagram as the lockdown continues.

"Over 30 sports will be competing in a range of challenges to mark the day of Varsity - but not as we know it," they said.

"Each of the unique challenges will be hosted at the homes of your fellow captains, committees and players."

The event is on Wednesday.

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford promises an update on the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline staff at today's Welsh Government coronavirus briefing at 12:30 BST.

Researchers from Aberystwyth University are working to improve testing for coronavirus in low income countries.

Currently, tests in the UK are conducted in a laboratory using large and expensive equipment.

A team under the leadership of Dr Arwyn Edwards is experimenting with a fast-track method, external that could be done without specialist facilities.

The research began in March and is expected to be completed in a few months.

Dr Edwards, a senior lecturer in biology, said: “The very nature of a pandemic means it is a challenge for global health.

“It reveals how everyone’s health is intimately connected, meaning we must respond globally to help keep communities safe.

“Where healthcare infrastructure is less developed the burden of Covid-19 will be greatest.”

The university has also tested 115 key workers for coronavirus in a building it converted into a screening centre.

Investors fear the spread of coronavirus will destroy economic growth and government action may not be able to stop the decline.

In response, central banks in many countries, including the UK, have slashed interest rates.

That idea is that will make borrowing cheaper and encourage spending to boost the economy.

Global markets recovered some ground in late March after the US Senate passed a $2tn (£1.7tn) coronavirus aid bill to help workers and businesses.

But some analysts warned they could remain volatile until the pandemic is contained.
