The Welsh Government has set out dates for easing restrictions in Barry and across the rest of the country.
Coronavirus cases are now at their lowest since mid-September, and the Government says we "have some headroom for a careful and phased approach to start unlocking Wales".
The first change is moving from 'stay home' to 'stay local'. Mr Drakeford said to think of this as a five mile radius from where you are. This would be in place for two weeks.
From tomorrow [13 March] four people from two households can meet outdoors, outdoor facilities can open and indoor care home visits can restart.
On Monday 15 March, primary pupils and students doing qualifications will return to school. Schools also have flexibility to bring back years 10 and 12.
Hairdressers and barbers can open from Monday by appointment for haircuts, and the Government also "hopes all close contact services will be open from 12 April if public health outlook stays positive".
From 22 March, a gradual reopening of non-essential retail will begin. This will start with lifting the restrictions on what shops which are currently open can sell. Garden centres can open too.
If cases continue to fall, all shops will be able to reopen from 12 April – the same date as England.
The Government says that this step-by-step approach "allows us to gradually open up Wales while keeping a close eye on the virus".
First Minister Mark Drakeford will provide more details and information about funding to support businesses in the press conference at 12:15.
