Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor says shortened matches could be an option when football resumes.

Discussions about a possible Premier League return on 8 June are ongoing but Taylor says players are "concerned about their own safety".

A shop owner says he has been "pretending" to be an artist for the last few weeks, after being forced to close the family business during lockdown.

Halls of Llandaff in Cardiff closed its doors in March as part of pandemic measures.

In the meantime, Pete Hall has built a model of Pembrokeshire's seaside town Tenby and its harbour.

"If you told me at the start of the year that by the end of April I'd be on my 40th day of a virus lockdown, killing time making a wooden model of Tenby Harbour in the garage and dreaming up new pizza toppings with leftovers and stale wraps I would think you were barking mad," he told followers on Twitter.

A flock of sheep have been moved onto a Welsh rugby pitch during the coronavirus crisis while the sports fixtures are on hold.

WRU plate champions Brecon - coached by former Wales forward Andy Powell - have rented their Parc de Pugh pitch to club chairman and shepherd Paul Amphlett as a way to generate cash during the lockdown while his sheep cut and fertilise the grass.

The 57-year-old retired paramedic has now returned to work for the Welsh Ambulance Service to help fight coronavirus on the front line.

The coronavirus pandemic has cost one Welsh council up to £9m, claims its leader.

Dyfrig Seincyn said leisure centre closures and empty car parks in Gwynedd accounts for £6m in loss of income.

"It is a significant loss to any council's budget, and I know from the discussions I've had with councils across Wales that other councils are very concerned about this loss and how it will affect their budgets," said Mr Seincyn.

He told BBC Radio Cymru the Welsh Local Government Association estimated losses due to coronavirus across Welsh councils was about £170m - with mounting additional costs of up to £90m.

'In terms of support, I think we will be looking at some ways to present clear and robust evidence of the losses and savings," added Gwynedd's leader.

"The (Welsh) Government is sympathetic but even their pocket is not bottomless and we may need to look to the Westminster government for additional support."

It's not just the spread of the virus we should be concerned about - there's lots of misleading coronavirus advice being shared on social media and in private messages too.

The BBC's Zeinab Badawi explains how to check whether what you're about to forward is real or fake, and how to slow the online spread of falsehoods which could put lives at risk.

The Welsh comedian and broadcaster Mike Doyle has thanked fans for the messages of support they sent his son Tommy, who had been battling Covid-19 for over a month at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.

The performer's 31-year-old son is now recovering at home."Tom is doing great. He really is. He has got his smile back which was such a wonderful thing to see after a harrowing six weeks he was in there," Doyle told BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast show.

"We thank so many people, we thank God, that he is at home with familiar four walls and mum's cooking."

The Carmarthen-born comic and singer said his son was recovering "slowly".

"You know that saying, you hear of things and think 'that won't happen to me'. You hear stories of other people and when it knocks on your door, it just knocks you for six."

Actor Michael Sheen has shared his delight at taking part in an adaption of Dylan Thomas' play Under Milk Wood with the youth theatre company where he started.

He joined key workers for the special performance by the West Glamorgan Youth Theatre Company.

Alongside a doctor, a vicar and a lawyer who had all been members of the company founded in 1975, Sheen joined comedian Lloyd Langford, and writer and producer Russell T Davies in a YouTube tribute to the power of the arts.

"I’m only doing what I’m doing now because of the youth theatre company," said Sheen, from Baglan in Neath Port Talbot.

"It was the first time I saw a man in a dress, that was Russell T Davies. He was putting on the entertainment in the evening. So it was a real eye opener."

Sheen said the latest adaptation of Under Milk Wood highlighted the wide range of career backgrounds of people who had been members of the theatre company.

"It gave you a sense of what it meant to be a part of a team, part of a company and to work hard," added the star of films such as The Queen, Underworld, and more recently Good Omens and Quiz on TV.

A woman whose smear test showed abnormal cells fears the suspension of testing during the coronavirus pandemic could lead to cancer going undetected.

Katherine Parr, 48, had a routine test in March 2019 and her results letter from Cervical Screening Wales said she should be seen again in 12 months.

But Ms Parr, of Wrexham, was told by her GP's surgery that routine tests were cancelled during the outbreak.

Public Health Wales said it was working to find a way through the crisis.

Aerospace bosses at GE Aviation say they are consulting with 1,400 staff at the company's south Wales base, after announcing plans to slash its global workforce in the wake of coronavirus.

The firm said its plans could hit 25% of its 52,000 worldwide staff.

“The global impact of the coronavirus pandemic is being felt across the aviation industry," said a company official on Tuesday.

“The business is consulting with all employees at the Wales site, including those currently furloughed, regarding voluntary severance."

GE Aviation's plant at Nantgarw, outside Cardiff, is one of largest aviation maintenance facilities in the world.

It has the capacity to service more than 500 jet engines a year, serving more than 90 airlines, over 1.2 million sq ft of workshop space.

"The total number of people affected will only be finalised through the consultation process which is currently underway," added the company.

“We appreciate the commitment of all our employees during this difficult time, and we regret having to take this action."

The Welsh Government could adopt an experimental app to track and trace coronavirus, the First Minister Mark Drakeford said.

The app is being trialled on the Isle of Wight from today.

Mr Drakeford said there were "advantages" to the software if issues with the app, such as the sharing personal data, could be solved.

His chief medical officer said the public would be willing to lose some freedoms to tackle the virus.

But law expert Dr Katy Vaughan has warned any moves to introduce a tracking app in Wales needed to be "carefully examined".

"The tracking of people's movements in this way does involve quite high levels of surveillance," said the member of Swansea University's Cyber Threat Research Centre, speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast on Tuesday.

Ministers in Wales want to track, trace and isolate coronavirus as a part of its plans to ease the lockdown

A new scheme to ensure prescription medicines get to those shielding from coronavirus is being unveiled.

The arrangements will support community pharmacies and dispensing doctors to allocate deliveries to volunteer drivers where people do not have family, friends or neighbours who can collect their prescriptions for them.

Volunteers have been recruited by the Welsh Government, alongside the British Red Cross.

“A huge thank you to everyone involved in supporting these new arrangements and in particular to the volunteers who are playing a vital role within their communities across Wales," said Health Minister Vaughan Gething.

Over 650 community pharmacies in Wales and 18 dispensing doctors have signed up to the new scheme, with over 400 volunteers already recruited.

In other news, a residential centre for women will be created in Wales, as an alternative to custody for those convicted of low-level crimes.

It will be the first of its kind in Wales or England and will focus on rehabilitation.

The announcement was made along with £2.5m being made available to community services supporting women at risk of being drawn into crime.

Around 30,000 coronavirus tests a day could be needed if the Welsh NHS begins testing everyone with symptoms, a leaked report says.

The Welsh Government wants a system of surveillance to help ease Wales out of lockdown.

But a Public Health Wales plan has revealed the potential scale of the task ahead.

Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth said the document contains "as many questions as answers".

"This is a draft overarching strategy and we are working with our partners this week on the detailed delivery plan," a Welsh Government spokesman said.

Ministers want to track and trace infections as a way to ease the stay-at-home restrictions, and have said that a large increase in tests would be needed.

But Ms Parr, of Wrexham, was told by her GP's surgery that routine tests were cancelled during the outbreak.

Public Health Wales said it was working to find a way through the crisis.

She said: "The surgery says 'don't worry, these things take years to develop'. So, why call me back in a year?

"I know it could be fine, but I have been worrying for a year."

Coronavirus will "come back with a vengeance" if lockdown measures are eased too quickly, Wales' chief scientific adviser for health warned.

Dr Rob Orford said a "very careful, cautious approach" was required.

He said communicating the plan effectively to the public would be key and that children could be among the first to see changes.

Surveillance measures would also need to be in place to track and trace ongoing infections.

"The risk of a second and third (Covid-19) wave are ever-present," Dr Orford said.
