First Minister's timetable for reopening Wales’ visitor economy following the 21-day review period

The First Minister has set out a timetable for reopening Wales’ visitor economy following a 21-day review period. See below for the dates businesses can reopen:
 
From 11th July

• Self-contained holiday accommodation

 
From 13th July

• Hairdressing salons and barbershops, including mobile hairdressers.
• Pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes outdoors.
• Outdoor cinemas.
• Indoor visitor attractions, but a small number of underground visitor attractions will remain closed for the time being because of the higher risks associated with these environments. The Welsh Government will continue to work with these attractions towards safe re-opening.
• Places of worship. Faith leaders can begin to gradually resume services when they are ready to do so safely.

 
From 20th July

• Playgrounds, community centres and outdoor gyms

 
The following provisional dates have also been announced:
 
From 25th July

• Tourist accommodation with shared facilities, such as camping sites.

 
From 27th July

• Beauty sector and other close-contact services, including tattooists and nail salons
• Indoor cinemas, museums, galleries and archive services.

 
A final decision about reopening these sectors will depend on conditions and feedback from the initial opening of the tourism industry, indoor attractions and hairdressing sector. The next formal review is due by 30 July with detailed discussions about how indoor hospitality can operate in a coronavirus-safe way ongoing.  Options for reopening will be considered from 3 August, if conditions allow. The Welsh Government is also making changes to the regulations to allow larger gatherings of up to 30 people outdoors only where these are organised and supervised by a responsible person for sports and other leisure activities and classes. 

The law will continue to make the 2m distance the default position for physical distancing, but given the challenges faced by the hospitality, beauty industry and other sectors, where a 2m distance cannot be reasonably maintained at all times. the regulations will require businesses to put in place a set of additional measures to minimise the risk of the virus spreading.
