  1. Alcohol fears amid lockdown boredom

    People could develop long-term heavy drinking habits as a result of self-isolating at home, a charity fears.

    Over a quarter of adults in Wales who drink have increased their consumption since the coronavirus restrictions were brought in, according to research by Alcohol Change UK.

    Sales of alcohol jumped 31% in March, ahead of overall supermarket sales.

    The charity urged people to think about how much they were drinking during the lockdown.
