The ONS has produced new regional data on the impact of restrictions on businesses. It reports that Wales had the highest percentage of single-site businesses currently trading in early May 2021, at 87%. However, the data, as usual, shows that tourism/hospitality is the most impacted sector of the economy but there are quite marked regional differences. 68% of hospitality businesses report a decline in revenue which is twice the percentage of UK businesses as a whole (34%) that report a decrease in turnover.
