Coronavirus in Wales: Your daily update
All schools are to close by Friday with the Easter break being brought forward, according to the Welsh Government.
All school exams are to be cancelled this summer with GCSEs and A-levels graded on work already completed. The health minister has also warned individual funerals may not be possible if virus deaths are at the "top end of the reasonable worst case scenario". It was also announced NHS frontline staff will start to get coronavirus testing. Ministers have also pledged to ensure Welsh businesses are treated equally to those in England. They have set aside £1.4bn to aid firms reeling from the impact of the virus. In other developments, Toyota has suspended production at Deeside, and the Church in Wales has said services should be put on hold. Meanwhile, second home owners and caravanners have been urged not to come to north Wales to self-isolate. A GP said health services have been inundated by people with second homes in Gwynedd looking for medical care. Chief Medical Officer Dr Frank Atherton said the measures introduced on Monday "should reduce" peak demand on the NHS by over 60%. "It's no longer appropriate for people to be gathering in large groups", Dr Atherton added. On Tuesday it was announced a second patient in Wales had died from coronavirus. The 96-year-old was being treated at Morriston Hospital, Swansea. Thirteen new cases have tested positive for COVID-19 in Wales, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 149 - although the true number of cases is likely to be higher - and the virus has now been detected in every council area, according to health bosses. Dr Atherton said about 70,000 people in Wales were "particularly vulnerable" and he expected further measures to protect them would be announced later this week. He said the issue of whether to close schools was "under constant review," while the testing of NHS staff for the virus was being actively looked at. What else happened on Wednesday?
