Public Health Wales (PHW) figures also showed there were 76 new cases reported, meaning 14,314 people have tested positive for Covid-19.

The true figure is likely to be higher as not everyone is tested.

Organisers of the popular Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival have announced the event will not be going ahead this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It had been due to take place at Roald Dahl Plass in Cardiff Bay from 3-5 July.

Mark Drakeford told the daily briefing he relied on the health advice of the Chief Medical Officer, Frank Atherton, on whether Wales would follow England in making face masks compulsory on public transport.

“The effectiveness of a face covering will be very different if you're simply pulling your jumper up over your mouth and nose, and if you have a face covering made out of material that has a genuine impact on the distribution of droplets," said the first minister.

“And it's why he has always had some hesitation about suggesting to people there is an inevitable advantage in wearing a face covering.

“I don't regret following the chief medical officer’s advice because my job in the pandemic is not to substitute my judgement for his, but to convey to people in Wales the best advice that I get and can then put to them.”

The GMB union has welcomed the first minister's decision to extend the Welsh Government's bonus scheme for care home workers.

They will each receive £500 - but the Treasury will tax the money as "it is made in connection with employment" - a move the GMB describes as picking the pockets of hard-working care staff.

Kelly Andrews, GMB organiser said: “This is fantastic news; it means that all staff [will be] recognised for the important part they play in providing social care during this pandemic.

“It’s now time for the Westminster government to sit up and take notice on how you care for our carers like we are in Wales.

"They should start changing track and they should begin by immediately scrapping the stealth tax they’ve whacked on our carers."

At today's Welsh Government coronavirus briefing, Mark Drakeford was also asked about the petition to make teaching black history compulsory in schools.

“Diversity matters in every single part of Wales and in every community," the first minister said.

"Even when there are few black faces to be seen, there will be other forms of diversity in those communities as well.

“Therefore it’s just as important, in some ways more important, to make sure that plurality of experience is understood in our communities in Wales, and that ignorance isn’t allowed to create discrimination.

“That’s why education in every part of Wales, and the huge diversity of experience we have in Wales, every one of which strengthens us as a nation, that those experiences are understood, taught and celebrated in all our different communities.”

First Minister Mark Drakeford says they need to explore a "whole series of detailed questions" if Wales is going to follow England in making face masks compulsory on public transport.

He raised concerns about what it would mean for people with asthmatic conditions, deaf people who rely on lip reading and passengers needing a sandwich and a drink on a long train journey.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said there was no difference in safety as to whether pupils returned to school in June compared to August.

Education Minister Kirsty Williams said this week that schools will reopen on 29 June.

Yesterday, Chief Medical Officer Dr Frank Atherton said that was the "second best option" with his preference being a return in August.

Speaking at today's media briefing, Mr Drakeford said it was "not a choice between doing a safe thing and an unsafe thing".

He added: "It is a choice about how we reopen our schools and doing it with 'safety first' all along.

"There is no safety difference between schools going back in June and schools going back in August."

The first minister confirmed a "radical proposal" was put to teaching unions "which would have drawn a line under the summer term". However that plan was rejected.

He also said the agreed plan for schools to return later this month has also been "endorsed and signed off" by the chief medical officer.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has said the Welsh Government will not “rush into an immediate decision” on whether to make face coverings mandatory on public transport.

It follows a decision to make them compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June.

Currently, the Welsh Government does not ask people to wear non-clinical face coverings, saying it is a "matter of personal choice".

The British Medical Association, the doctors' union, advocates the wearing of face coverings where it is not possible to socially distance, and is urging Welsh ministers to change their position.

In Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon has said face coverings could become mandatory on public transport and in shops.

Transport for Wales is now asking rail and bus passengers to "consider" wearing masks.

Mr Drakeford told journalists on Friday that Welsh ministers had a “short number of days” to consider the position in Wales, recognising the “changed context”.

“We will continue conversations over the weekend and make a definitive statement in the first part of next week,” he said.

However, Mr Drakeford did point out the issue of rail services along the border and whether it was practical to have different rules on either side.

A £500 bonus for all those who work in care homes is being extended, but a row about taxing the money is still continuing.

Speaking at today's daily press briefing, First Minister Mark Drakeford said workers like kitchen staff and cleaners would now be included in the bonus, which will be paid "as soon as possible".

But he said he was disappointed that the Treasury intended to tax the payments, despite requests from the Welsh Government that it be tax-free.

“We will continue to make the case for every penny of this payment goes to those people who have made such a vital contribution during the pandemic,” said Mr Drakeford.

Rail and bus passengers in Wales should follow England and wear face masks on public transport, according to the body that represents train operators.

It was announced on Thursday that wearing a mask on buses, trams, trains, coaches, aircraft and ferries will be compulsory in England from 15 June.

It is not mandatory to wear them in Wales, but Transport for Wales said on Friday that passengers can "consider" wearing a face mask to help avoid the spread of coronavirus.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has previously said there was only a "marginal public health case" for wearing face masks in everyday life.

Now the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) has urged all passengers to wear face coverings on trains.

RDG chief executive Paul Plummer said: “Greater use of face coverings will boost the other measures we are putting in place to keep people safe, like more thorough cleaning, improved information on potential crowding and one-way systems at busier stations.”

Health chiefs have given a look behind the scenes to show a waste depot at Cardiff's Principality Stadium which was transformed into a laboratory in just 11 days.

Wales' national rugby stadium was turned into the temporary 2,000-bed Dragon's Heart Hospital to help respond to the coronavirus crisis, accepting its first patients at the end of April.

Haematology, Blood Transfusion & Phlebotomy Service manager Alun Roderick said: "We have a laboratory that's built on site in the Dragon's Heart Hospital, which can provide rapid tests.

"We're in the bowels of the stadium really and when we first came down here it was the waste depot.

"Within 11 days of starting to build we had a fully-functioning and signed-off laboratory."

The stadium will remain as a field hospital until at least the end of September.

Police have escorted nine people out of Pembrokeshire after they travelled from Cardiff to set up camp near the Blue Lagoon in Abereiddy.

Officers say the visitors had removed the barriers to let themselves into the closed car park.

They were all reported for breaching lockdown restrictions, with one individual also dealt with for cannabis possession.

A Samoan rugby union team that set off for an away match on 23 February have still not made it home.

Manuma Samoa - who play in the Global Rapid Rugby competition - left their Pacific island home for an away match in Perth, Australia, more than 100 days ago.

On their way home they were forced to quarantine in Auckland, New Zealand, and were then stuck when Samoa closed its borders entirely because of the threat of coronavirus.

Although they are now back in Samoa, they are halfway through a two-week quarantine - and players have still not seen their families.

"When we arrived in New Zealand it was summer, when we left it was winter," the team's video analyst Hari Junior Narayan told the BBC.

Rail and bus passengers in Wales can "consider" wearing a face mask when wearing one on public transport becomes the rule in England.

It was announced on Thursday that wearing a mask on buses, trams, trains, coaches, aircraft and ferries will be compulsory in England from 15 June.

Now Transport for Wales said people in Wales can "consider" following suit to help avoid spreading coronavirus.

It says it is due to the "cross-border nature" of Wales' public transport network.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has previously said there was only a "marginal public health case" for wearing face masks in everyday life.

Sixth-form student Anastasia O’Reilly has been praised for helping her community during the coronavirus pandemic.

She should have been sitting her exams at Y Pant Comprehensive School in Talbot Green, Rhondda Cynon Taf, but now spends her time volunteering at a local pharmacy, where she delivers prescriptions to vulnerable people.

“Everyone is so grateful for the service I provide, and I enjoy getting to know all of these people," Anastasia said.

Headteacher Beverley Cheetham said she was not surprised her head prefect had been helping out.

“She is an outstanding ambassador and role model for us all at Y Pant," she said.

This year’s Tafwyl Festival is to be streamed live from Cardiff Castle.

The annual Welsh-language event, which attracted 37,000 visitors over two days in Cardiff last year, was cancelled due to coronavirus.

However organisers Menter Caerdydd will now show live music, literature, discussions and children’s activities from the castle on 20 June.

“The bedroom gigs recently seen by other popular festivals have been fantastic at filling the cultural gap over the past few weeks,” said Menter Caerdydd chief executive Manon Rees O’Brien.

“We felt it would be amazing to be able to offer artists and viewers a quality production from our iconic venue to celebrate all that’s great about our language and culture.”

Festival organisers said they would follow all Welsh Government guidelines with minimal crew on the site and no live audience.

They added: “During a worrying time for the arts, artists, and the event industry alike, the festival will provide essential cultural output and industry support at a time when it is most needed.”

Singer-songwriter Al Lewis, art-rock group HMS Morris and electro-pop performer Hana are among the music artists set to perform while NoFit State Circus will hold a workshop for children.

Traders who planned to have stalls at the event will be offering their goods in a virtual market on social media while some of the caterers will deliver food to the audience’s door.

BBC DJ Huw Stephens, who will be presenting live from the castle, said: “It's a strange and different summer for everyone.

"But Cardiff, music and the Welsh community continue to bring a little sunshine to June.”
