More lockdown restrictions could be lifted in Wales in weeks if the number of coronavirus cases continues to fall, the first minister has said.
But Mark Drakeford said he could not make "any promises" about reopening pubs and restaurants.
He said it was on the list of items which could change when restrictions are next overhauled.
The next review of Wales' lockdown is due at the end of the current three-week period, around 18 June.
Mr Drakeford said cases are falling from a high of about 400 a day at the start to around 50 new cases a day.
Speaking at the Welsh Government's daily coronavirus briefing, he said "because the number of new cases is falling, then the risk of meeting someone with the disease and being infected by it is falling as well".
He said that at the end of next week, if the number of people carrying the disease in Wales is still falling, "we will have some headroom to go on in that careful and cautious way of lifting the restrictions in Wales".
England's pubs and restaurants may re-open earlier than planned after warnings of huge job losses.
But Mr Drakeford said he could not make "any promises" about re-opening the sectors.
He said he would be meeting officials to consider the "long list" of potential ideas which could reopen at the end of the current three week period.
The next lockdown announcement in Wales is expected on 19 June, a day after ministers are legally required to review the restrictions.
"We'll do it in the way we've done it in the last two cycles. We'll look at a long list of ideas this week," Mr Drakeford said.
"We reduce that list to a short list of the most possible ideas which we then look at greater detail next week."
