Swimming pools, gyms, children's play centres and leisure centres will reopen in Wales on Monday, the Welsh government has confirmed.

They have been closed since March because of fears over the spread of coronavirus.

The Welsh Government said that businesses legally have "to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus".

This means making sure people keep two metres apart where possible, screens being installed to keep people away from each other and using face coverings.

Children's play centres are allowed to re-open but areas that are hard to clean, including ball pits, have to remain closed.

The Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, has warned businesses that the government won't hesitate to close businesses that aren't following the rules.
