Coronavirus: Nails & beauty businesses in Wales could reopen from 15 March

The Welsh Government has revealed that nail and beauty businesses could reopen from 15 March as part of their plan to exit lockdown.

Despite Wales not publicly announcing a long term plan to see the country reopen, the government has instead opted to look no further than six weeks- or two three-week review cycles of lockdown restrictions ahead.

Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: “I think forecasting much further into the future is fraught with difficulty and uncertainty.”

What we know so far:

• 1 March- Wedding venues reopen for limited-size wedding and civil partnership ceremonies.
• 12 March- Next review of restrictions, possibility of more changes if case numbers continue to fall.
• 15 March- Possible reopening of non-essential shops and more schools. This could include hairdressers, beauticians and all primary schools.
• Easter- Target date for reopening of tourism businesses. Focused on self-contained accommodation.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has been urged to produce a roadmap for the end of the Covid-19 lockdown.
