  1. Pubs in Wales 'could close' if coronavirus cases rise

    Pubs in Wales could close if coronavirus cases continue to rise, the health minister has warned.

    All bars and restaurants across central Scotland have been closed following a surge in cases.

    Vaughan Gething said the Welsh Government was considering the measure, but said it could mean "significant unemployment" unless there was financial support from Westminster.

    Currently, pubs, cafes and restaurants in Wales stop serving alcohol at 22:00.

    Mr Gething told BBC Radio Wales "we are not yet at a point" where widespread closures of bars was needed, but the situation was "rapidly evolving".
