We'll be back tomorrow when First Minister Mark Drakeford will announce any changes to the lockdown regulations in Wales.

Poor communications between the UK and Welsh governments are "hampering" efforts to tackle coronavirus, a senior Welsh Parliament committee has warned.

The Finance Committee has been looking at the £2.4bn extra Welsh ministers are spending on dealing with the outbreak.

The committee says London-Wales "communication channels" were "not as open as they could be" and co-ordination was being "hampered".

UK ministers said the administrations had "worked more closely than ever" together.

The committee's report, external praises the Welsh Government's "swift action" during the crisis, but says it is not clear what Welsh ministers are doing to prepare for life after lockdown is eased.

It’s expected that non-essential retailers will be told they can open from Monday, when the first minister reveals the latest changes to the coronavirus laws on Friday.

Welsh retailers were told to prepare for a possible reopening three weeks ago, while shops in England have been trading since Monday.

The Welsh Government will continue to emphasise caution and says its priority continues to be “keep Wales safe”.

Businesses will be expected to ensure two-metre social distancing is observed in their premises, after Health Minister Vaughan Gething said he did not want to see large crowds gathering near shops.

First Minister Mark Drakeford referred to a “package” of measures in his last press briefing, and he may also announce some smaller easing of restrictions, although the controversial “stay local” message is likely to remain in place.

Reopening shops is a move that’s been heavily trailed by ministers and they’re keen to stress that caution remains their watchword.

The approach from the Welsh Government has been to announce one big thing in each review and then monitor its effect on the reproduction rate of the virus.

Recently though, they’ve started putting sectors “on notice” for reopening – shops next week, followed by schools the week after.

Perhaps this time there will be something for the tourism sector to look forward to?

Some of the biggest outbreaks of Covid-19 worldwide have been in meat processing factories and slaughterhouses.

In Ireland, for example, a special National Outbreak Team has been put in place to deal with the large number of clusters at meat plants.

There are various theories about why meat plants are particularly susceptible.

But a combination staff working in close proximity, doing very physical work, indoors in a cold environment where the virus is known to thrive - are likely to be contributory factors.

What's certain is that 58 confirmed Covid-19 cases in a factory that employs around 560 staff - 2 Sisters in Llangefni, Anglesey - will not only be a worry to the workers and their families but also to the wider community.

And of course the number is very likely to rise with all staff now being tested and their contacts traced.

Children and young people have been invited to put their questions to Wales' education minister about the reopening of schools and colleges.

Kirsty Williams will give her replies next Wednesday, with schools set to partially reopen from 29 June.

A coronavirus outbreak at a chicken processing plant on Anglesey has now affected 58 workers.

Public Health Wales (PHW) said the number of confirmed cases at the 2 Sisters factory in Llangefni had risen from 51 to 58 with more than 200 people told to self-isolate for 14 days.

All of the plant's 560-strong workforce are now to be tested, PHW said.

Production at the plant has been suspended and the site closed for two weeks as the company said it wanted to show "how seriously we take this issue".

Health Minister Vaughan Gething admitted the outbreak was a "concern".

A factory in Wrexham which produces food ranges for supermarkets across the UK has confirmed 38 staff have tested positive for Covid-19.

Rowan Foods - owned by Oscar Meyer Quality Foods - employs 1,500 people.

It makes prepared foods for UK supermarket chains including Aldi, Asda and Sainsbury’s.

The company said there was "no clear evidence" the virus had spread within the factory but was a "reflection" of an increase in the number of cases across the Wrexham area.

It said: “The site has 38 staff absent due to testing positive for Covid-19, this is across our direct and agency workforce which totals 1,500.

"We are very thankful that none of our colleagues are seriously ill or hospitalised from this virus.

“Following notification of a positive Covid case we have worked with Public Health Wales and had already implemented a track-and-trace process to highlight any close contacts.

"These colleagues are required to isolate for a 14-day period of isolation. Any member of staff who has tested positive for Covid-19 is asked to isolate for at least seven days.

“The safety of our colleagues remains our priority and our focus is remaining Covid-19 secure as a site.

“We are aware through discussions with Public Health Wales that the Wrexham area is seeing significantly high numbers of positive cases. It is concerning but not surprising that we are seeing a number of our staff affected by this local trend.

"Similarly, we are experiencing a high number of staff required to isolate. A large proportion of our teams are from the same household/family and interact outside of work as well as being work colleagues."

It follows news that more than 50 staff at the 2 Sisters chicken processing plant in Llangefni, Anglesey, have tested positive for coronavirus.

Schools and councils will have the final say on whether the summer term is extended for an extra week, the Welsh Government has said.

Discussions are believed to be continuing between government officials, unions and councils.

There are union concerns that extending the term to 27 July causes major problems relating to staff contracts.

Education Minister Kirsty Williams wants all pupils to get a taste of school from 29 June before the summer break.

But some unions have questioned the safety and practicality of the proposal and have warned there may not be sufficient numbers of cleaners and teaching assistants to enable schools to open for an extra week.

Anglesey has the highest number of new coronavirus cases for the second day running.

According to data from Public Health Wales, 11 of the 48 new cases were on the island.

They were among the 25 new cases reported within the Betsi Cadwaladr health board region, which covers north Wales.

There were 13 new cases in Cardiff and Vale, three in the Aneurin Bevan health board area, two in Cwm Taf, two in Hywel Dda (both in Ceredigion), none in Powys and none in the Swansea Bay health board region.

The news comes as the 2 Sisters chicken processing plant at Llangefni on Anglesey suspends production and closes due to a coronavirus outbreak.

Public Health Wales said there were 51 confirmed cases at the plant, with more than 200 people said to be self-isolating.

Handling the coronavirus pandemic in Wales has been "responsible", Health Minister Vaughan Gething has insisted.

It comes after Sir David King, who chairs an independent panel of scientific experts, told the Senedd it had been “disastrous” and “irresponsible” to launch a test and trace scheme so late into the pandemic.

Giving the Welsh Government's daily briefing, Mr Gething said: “I think we've been responsible throughout the course of the pandemic.

“That doesn't mean that with the benefit of hindsight, we wouldn't make different choices with the knowledge we have today.

“And what we have done is we have built up our capacity.

"We weren't able to simply flick a switch to turn on the significant capacity that we now have, it’s taken time to get there.”

Mr Gething added he was “very proud” of the work that the NHS and local government have done to create the test, trace and protect service.

To date 1,471 people are known to have died with coronavirus in Wales.

The number of new deaths being declared is less than at the peak of the pandemic.

Public Health Wales publishes a daily total of the number of people who have died with Covid-19, with figures provided by health boards.

Here is how the deaths have been tracked, allocated to the day they occurred rather than the day they were announced.

Public Health Wales says 1,471 people are now known to have died with coronavirus in Wales.

Today a further five deaths were confirmed by local authorities.

The area with the highest number of total deaths is the Betsi Cadwaladr health board area in north Wales.

Health Minister Vaughan Gething says the Welsh Government is committed to “providing reassurances” to teaching staff and parents who may have concerns about the reopening of schools in Wales on 29 June.

A survey by the trade union Unison shows over 70 percent of school support staff across Wales believe opening schools before September is too soon.

Speaking during the Welsh Government coronavirus press conference today, Mr Gething said it was “really important” to listen to concerns of those already in work and those who may be returning.

“We are certainly doing nothing to have unacceptable risk, we’re not asking staff to go and put themselves at risk," he said.

“In the conversations with education unions, I think there is an understanding that there is harm being caused to children’s future prospects by not being able to see more education activity restart.”

Mr Gething added: “I’m committed to providing reassurance for the understandable concerns that some of our staff have, to make sure we have all our systems in place working with the education minister and local governments and indeed employers."

Five further people have died with coronavirus in Wales, taking the total to 1,471.

A further 48 new cases were declared by health boards on Thursday, taking the total to 14,970.

But Public Health Wales, who publish the figures, have repeatedly warned the figure could be much higher, as not everyone with symptoms is tested.

"Localised action" may be needed to tackle Covid-19 hotspots, said the health minster Vaughan Gething.

He was being quizzed following the outbreak at an Anglesey chicken processing plant, where 51 workers have contracted coronavirus.

The 2 Sisters site at Llangenfi has been closed in a bid to control the virus spread.

He said the Welsh Government had been clear that it did not want to take a "regional approach to easing out of lockdown".

"We've not ruled out the prospect or the possibility that there could be very localised measures put in place that go beyond individual households being asked to isolate," the minister said at the daily briefing.

"But as and when those choices need to be made, we will of course need to communicate those with the public."

The Secretary of State for Wales’ intervention on behalf of tourism businesses was "clumsy and ill-judged", Mr Gething has told the briefing.

"We’re all learning and I’m sure the secretary of state for Wales recognises that he has learning to take from the coronavirus pandemic too,” he said.

Simon Hart MP, the Secretary of State for Wales, wrote to members of the Senedd and council leaders urging them to put pressure on Mark Drakeford to re-open the tourism industry in Wales.

At today’s coronavirus briefing, Mr Gething said Mr Hart had “the luxury of not being a decision maker” and it would be “much better for all of us if the Secretary of State engaged in a more constructive discussion with us”.

“We are making very difficult decisions about balancing the risks in public health with the harms lockdown cause," he said.

“I think it was a clumsy and ill-judged intervention for the secretary of state to make,” he added.

Wales' Health Minister Vaughan Gething says he does not want to see "crowds bunched together outside shops" if non-essential retailers are allowed to open next week.

First Minister Mark Drakeford, is due to announce the outcome of the latest lockdown review in Wales on Friday.

Answering questions on Thursday, Mr Gething said a Covid-19 outbreak at a chicken processing plant in Llangefni, Anglesey, showed the importance of maintaining social distancing.

Mr Gething told the Welsh Government's daily coronavirus news conference he did not want to see shop workers or shoppers "put at risk".

"People really do need to take a step back and realise the seriousness of the position we're in, and to recognise that the release from lockdown comes with responsibilities for all of us in the way that we choose to behave," he said.

The outbreak of Covid-19 at at a chicken factory on Anglesey “reiterates the importance of social distancing and hand hygiene”, Wales' health minister says.

Public Health Wales has announced it has identified 51 confirmed cases of the virus at the 2 Sisters plant in Llangefni.

Speaking at the Welsh Government’s daily press briefing, Vaughan Gething also said he was “concerned” there may be more confirmed cases to come.

“Obviously this reiterates a number of points: it reiterates the fact that even with a low prevalence of coronavirus it hasn't gone, it reiterates the importance of social distancing and appropriate hygiene measures, it also reiterates the importance of our test trace protect system," he said.

"People really do need to follow the advice that they're given on getting a test, and on self isolating.

“Given that this is a closed setting in which these people would have been working, I'm obviously concerned that we may well see more confirmed cases of coronavirus,” he added.

All residential care homes in Wales have been offered coronavirus testing, the health minister says.

By the start of this week, more than 22,800 care home residents and 28,780 staff had been tested, Vaughan Gething told the daily coronavirus briefing.

"Of these,1,212 residents and 1,206 care workers have tested positive for coronavirus."

There are more than 1,200 residential care homes in Wales.

However, Mr Gething added: "There are about 30 care homes across Wales, that have not yet agreed and completed how testing will take place.

"These are care homes where there has not been an outbreak of coronavirus.

"Understandably they have been reluctant to allow testing to take place because they are worried about the risk of coronavirus entering their homes, however small that risk may be.

"Health boards, Care Forum Wales and Care Inspectorate Wales are working with these homes to understand their reasons for not accepting the offer of testing and to encourage take up."
