What time is Mark Drakeford's coronavirus announcement today as rules on masks change?

Mark Drakeford is set to hold a press conference later today to update on the latest coronavirus situation in Wales. It comes as the rules around face masks and self-isolation are set to change.

Some protections will remain for a little while longer, however, with the Welsh Government deciding not to relax all restrictions as it had hoped to do as cases continue to rise. You can read more on this here.

From Monday, March 28 you will no longer need to wear masks in shops or on public transport but they will still be needed in health and social care settings. The legal requirement to self-isolate is also being scrapped and instead, people will be asked to stay inside if they test positive but it is no longer going to be the law. Businesses will still be asked to complete risk assessments.
