After more than two years of coronavirus regulations and months spent wearing face coverings, First Minister Mark Drakeford has lifted Covid restrictions across Wales - but there is one area where you still have to wear them. Among the changes introduced, Mr Drakeford said people would no longer have to wear masks in healthcare settings - something he said marked Wales reaching "another milestone moment in our response to the pandemic in Wales".
Whilst Mr Drakeford admitted that "the end of coronavirus regulations doesn't mean the pandemic is over," he did suggest that lifting regulations in Wales is a "big step" towards living safely with the virus.
Despite the First Minister having lifted the rule, Swansea Bay University Health Board has confirmed face masks must be worn across all its hospitals and healthcare settings "until risk assessments have been updated".
