British holidaymakers say they have been forced to pay hundreds of pounds for alternative routes back from Croatia, after finding affordable direct flights home before Saturday's quarantine deadline almost impossible to come by.

The UK government announced yesterday those travelling back to the UK from Croatia would have to self-isolate for 14 days.

Beccy Williams, a self-employed driving instructor from Oakham, Rutland, has decided not to return early from Slatine, where she is holidaying with her 10-year-old son and a group of friends.

"We were expecting it, to be honest - we followed the numbers before we left on Tuesday," she told the Press Association news agency.

"Two of our party dropped out as they weren't prepared to take the risk of quarantine and two weeks off work."

Cheaper options for holidaymakers seeking to leave Croatia early include flights via Germany or Spain and trains across the continent.

One potential option, taking about 20 hours, is a train from the capital, Zagreb, through Villach and Salzburg in Austria, Munich in Germany, and on to Paris to catch the Eurostar to London.

Mrs Williams added: "I feel bad my pupils won't get their driving lessons until after September 14, but my son is having so much fun with his friends here that it's worth it."

The graph below shows how many people have died in Wales with coronavirus on each day of the pandemic.

The seven-day average continues to fall after a slight rise earlier in August.

A social care leader has given a “cautious” welcome to news that indoor visits at care homes are being allowed again in Wales.

But Mary Wimbury, chief executive of Care Forum Wales which represents nearly 500 providers, stressed the need for the visits to be properly “risk assessed” so that they are done safely.

“As the situation has improved, many care homes have facilitated socially-distanced visits in outside areas to reunite residents and their families, and there have been some deeply touching moments across Wales," said Ms Wimbury.

“However, we recognise that meeting outside is not always practical, particularly when the weather is not good.

“Enabling indoor visits can be important for the mental health and well-being of residents and their loved ones, but it is vitally important this is done safely.

“We cautiously welcome this opportunity to provide additional support to care home residents through risk-assessed indoor visits by professionals, family and friends."

She added Care Forum Wales was pleased it is being consulted by the Welsh Government on the guidance regarding visits.

There have been no new deaths of people with coronavirus to report today, Public Health Wales said.

The map below shows how many people have died with Covid-19 in each local health board area since the outbreak began.

There are no new deaths from coronavirus in Wales to report, Public Health Wales said on Friday.

The official total number of people who have died with Covid-19 remains at 1,589 for the fifth day running.

There have been 34 new cases of the virus reported, meaning 17,673 people have now tested positive.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has confirmed the previously indicated plan to let four households meet indoors from tomorrow, with further easing of lockdown measures in the next seven days.

A pub has had its licence revoked after continuing to serve customers - including some disguised as tradesmen - during the coronavirus lockdown.

Denbighshire council said people were sneaked into Y Bodunig in Dyserth carrying items such as buzzsaws and ladders, but no work was carried out.

Police said the pub had tried to "hoodwink" officials.

The pub's former manager, Derek Coulton, said the people seen in the pub had been there to work.

The council's licensing committee was told of a string of incidents in which police found people drinking in the bar after lockdown measures were introduced in March.

CCTV footage showed people entering the pub via a back door before hiding from a police community support officer, while another incident saw Mr Coulton's son bring a circular saw into the pub and sprinkle sawdust on the bar.

North Wales Police said no work was carried out and that it was used as a cover story for people to go in and drink, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Further allegations were made that a man stood on a ladder while Mr Coulton spoke to officers on 31 March, before continuing to drink at the bar after the police officer had left.

Indoor visits to care homes will not look like they did “in a more normal era”, says Wales' first minister.

Mark Drakeford says it’s likely residents will have to declare a single "designated visitor" and groups of family members will not be permitted.

He also said care homes will assess each visit to see if they can be done outdoors instead of indoors.

Mr Drakeford added: “I am aware many care homes in Wales will be very nervous of allowing visitors back inside, given what they may have experienced during the pandemic.

“It’s important to me to repeat that this is permission for those care homes to prepare and plan and see what can be done, rather than an instructions that they’ve got to allow people in.”

Wales' lower population density than England was "part of the explanation" but "it may not be the whole of the explanation" for the lower incidence of coronavirus in Wales, the first minister says.

"I do think that some of what we are seeing is the result of the way that we have done things in Wales," Mark Drakeford said.

"I'm not going to claim that it's the whole of the reason - luck comes into this as well as good planning.

"But the way we've tried to do things in Wales, step by step, trying not to do too many things at once, trying to make sure that you can have a sense of cause and effect in what you are doing, being willing to do it in a cautious, controlled way ... I think that has been a distinguishing feature of the way things have happened in Wales and, to an extent, we are seeing the results of that."

Anyone travelling abroad needs to "think carefully" about their arrangements, says Wales' first minister.

From tomorrow, people returning from Austria, Croatia, and Trinidad and Tobago will need to quarantine for two weeks.

Mark Drakeford said he would not be going abroad this summer but said it was not up to him to issue "some sort of general guidance" to those who are going on holiday.

But he urged people to "think of the consequences" and check the latest Foreign Office advice on travel to other countries.

"If you were to be somewhere else and had to come back and self-isolate - how manageable is that for you? What impact will it have in your work circumstances and your wider family circumstances?"

Allowing indoor care home visits is one of the “most serious decisions” over lockdown easing taken by the Welsh Government, says First Minister Mark Drakeford.

Indoor visits will be permitted from next Saturday in Wales. But the first minister has said this is not an "instruction", saying each care home will have to make their own assessment.

Mr Drakeford highlighted that while outdoor care home visits have been allowed since June, some residents are just too frail to meet visitors outdoors.

“I know that there will be many families and many residents that this will make and enormous difference to," he said.

“But care homes are such vulnerable places that it’s right we take a different level of caution before we allow those visits to take place.”

Five hundred businesses have been closed since March after breaking the Welsh coronavirus regulations, the first minister has said.

Mark Drakeford told Friday's press conference that incidents have been witnessed and reported to the police and local authorities "which are plainly not within the rules".

He said many of the businesses in the early stages of the lockdown "simply hadn't understood the new lockdown requirements".

But councils now have new enforcement powers, he added.

"We have a better sense of how those new powers are being used and how effectively they're being used, but early reports are encouraging," he said.

"I still believe that the best methods are to engage, to educate, to explain, and most businesses, and most individuals when they have that explanation do the right thing.

"Where a small minority persist in doing things that are selfish, because they cause harm to others as well as themselves, then we won't hesitate to make sure that the powers are there, and the actions are taken so that that harm to others cannot take place."

Parents and pupils can be confident schools will reopen "successfully" in Wales in September, the first minister has said.

Mark Drakeford told journalists Wales had "unique experience" in the UK from the way schools were able to reopen before the summer break, adding: "We have learned a great deal from that."

He said the Welsh Government was also in "close touch" with colleagues in Scotland where pupils have already returned.

"We are putting the successful and safe reopening for schools right at the top of our agenda," Mr Drakeford told journalists at the briefing.

He stressed that if coronavirus did not "remain at the very suppressed level it currently is then we will think about schools first" when decisions are made about dealing with the virus.

"We will think about schools first as we try and find some headroom to go on in the gradual step-by-step way we have restoring freedoms to people in Wales," Mr Drakeford said.

Coronavirus testing capacity is being increased in preparation for the winter flu season, according to Wales' first minister.

Currently testing capacity is being under-used because of the "low ebb" of the pandemic, with fewer people coming forward with symptoms and therefore being tested, Mark Drakeford said.

But more tests will be needed in the winter months, he added.

"We are sure we're going to enter a period where it will be difficult for the lay person to distinguish between Covid and colds and flu," he said.

"Things are benign at the moment but as we enter the autumn and winter we'll need more tests to see whether people do have coronavirus.

"We are preparing for that in advance".

Slimming classes could be included in the next round of easing of restrictions, First Minister Mark Drakeford said.

Speaking at Friday's briefing, he said : "As usual we will also use the next three weeks to prepare for possible further lockdown-lifting measures in the future.

"We will focus on the group of people who earn a living – through music tuition, for example, by working in other people’s homes and ways of safely resuming small group meetings indoors – weight loss classes, book clubs or face-to-face training events, for example."

Wales' first minister has confirmed the next stage in easing coronavirus restrictions.

Mark Drakeford said from tomorrow the number of households who can come together to form a single extended household will double from two to four, as previously indicated.

Also from tomorrow, weddings and funerals will be able to include a meal for up to 30 people, in suitably socially-distant settings.

From 29 August, care homes will be allowed to organise visits indoors for the first time in many months.

He added that casinos will be able to reopen as well on 29 August.

On the matter of trialling three small-scale outdoor events, the first minister said: "If these pilots are successful, and provided the state of coronavirus allows, our intention is to extend the range of such small-scale outdoor events in the next regulations round."

A minority of people and businesses in Wales continue to act as though coronavirus does not apply to them, First Minister Mark Drakeford said.

"We in Wales are not immune from the challenges being faced elsewhere," he said.

"That is especially the case when we see here, too, that a minority of people and businesses continue to act as though coronavirus regulations do not apply to them.

"Their actions pose a threat to themselves and to others.

"More can, and will, be done in Wales to engage, educate and if necessary enforce the rules which keep us all safe," he added.

Wales continues to see "local peaks" of coronavirus, but these outbreaks have either been successfully ended or are under effective control, First Minister Mark Drakeford told today's briefing.

He said this enables the Welsh Government to make further positive adjustments to coronavirus restrictions in Wales.

But he warned: "I must, however, strike a note of caution: while our present position is strong, the position in other parts of the United Kingdom, and across the world, is becoming more challenging, with further quarantine arrangements reimposed from 4am tomorrow on visitors returning to Wales from Austria, Croatia, and Trinidad and Tobago."

Mr Drakeford said elsewhere in the UK, local restrictions have been extended in the north of England, as daily new infections rates rise above 1,000 a day in England.

Northern Ireland has seen a tenfold increase in new cases each day, with restrictions imposed again there yesterday, he added.

Scotland recorded 77 new cases yesterday, the highest number for nearly three months, Mr Drakeford told the briefing.

Wales is the only part of the UK where the daily rate of new coronavirus infections is falling, the first minister says.

Speaking at the Welsh Government's coronavirus press briefing, Mark Drakeford said the positivity rate - the percentage of tests which are returned as positive - is very low.

"In the past seven days, over 40,300 tests had been carried out in Wales, and 141 of them were positive," he said.

"That is a positivity rate of 0.3%."

On five of the last seven days, no deaths from the virus had been reported, he added.
