Wales' coronavirus travel restrictions could be lifted from 6 July so people can "travel as far as they like for all purposes," the first minister Mark Drakeford has said.

Travel into and around Wales will be possible from that date, as long as coronavirus is still under control.

But rules that require people to stay in their local area, within five miles as a guide, will stay for now.

It comes as the first minister makes several major changes to lockdown laws.

From Monday visits outside a local area on compassionate grounds, such as to family, care homes or youth offender institution, will be allowed.

On the same day:

Non-contact sports will be possible at outdoor courts only.

House viewings in vacant properties and home moves will also be allowed to happen, restarting the housing market.

But rules stating you can only meet one other household outdoors remain.

The Welsh Government has also signalled signal major changes for the tourism sector - giving a cautious go ahead to trips to tourist attractions from 6 July, and for booking for self-contained accommodation from 13 July.

Schools in Wales are also due to reopen on 29 June.

What about pubs and hairdressers?

It remains unclear when hairdressers, pubs, cafes and restaurants will be able to reopen.

But the Welsh Government promised to look at "personal care services" including hairdressers and beauty salons at the next review on 9 July.

And discussions will be held with the hospitality sector about the "potential phased reopening of pubs, cafes and restaurants".

"The threat of coronavirus hasn't gone away but thanks to the efforts we have all made over the last few months, the number of people contracting coronavirus each day in Wales is falling, so too is the risk of meeting somebody with virus.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, he asked people to do "one more lap" and observe the "stay local" message for two more weeks.

He said: "If we are able to confirm, that on 6 July, that the stay local restriction is over, and people chose to travel to those parts of Wales that are holiday destinations, those places now have two weeks to prepare for that.

"It's a very sensible precautionary measure, it's part of the careful and cautious way that we have been doing things in Wales."

The first minister urged people to "stick with the stay-local instruction".

"It has really helped to bring the virus under control in Wales," Mr Drakeford said.

"We need you to go on doing it, and if you do, then in two weeks we should be in a position where all this can be over."

Conservative politicians had criticised the five-mile guidance as unfair on people from rural areas, but the first minister said it was a "rule of thumb".

An advisor to the chief medical officer had also called for a review.

But, announcing a loosening of the rules for some visits, he added: "If you have a compassionate reason to visit someone beyond your local area, you are able to do that over the next two weeks as well."

The Welsh government has been under pressure to allow for a reopening of the tourism sector for the summer.

The lifting of travel restrictions means that the "tourism economy will reopen in Wales" from 6 July, Mr Drakeford said.

Mr Drakeford said he had met tourism industry leaders on Thursday and "will be saying to the visitor economy in Wales that they should use the next three weeks to prepare to re-open self-contained accommodation in Wales during the month of July".

The self-contained element was important because of the way coronavirus can spread, he argued.

"If you have a static caravan that has it's own kitchen or bathroom, if you're renting a cottage or going to a hotel that has turned itself into self-contained accommodation, there will be a clear signal from me today that you should use the next three weeks to get everything you need in place, and you will be able to start taking bookings for after 13 July," Mr Drakeford said.

Lockdown in Wales is controlled by the Welsh government. It has emphasised a cautious approach to lifting restrictions as case numbers have fallen.

The original stay-at-home legislation was dropped three weeks ago, when ministers changed the law to allow people to travel within a local area.

Five miles was given as guidance for how far people should travel, although that was not set in legislation.

It coincided with a loosening of restrictions allowing two households to meet outdoors.

The Welsh restrictions contrast to the situation in England, where people are able to travel with no restrictions.

After queues when shops in England reopened on Monday, Health Minister Vaughan Gething said he did not want to see large crowds outside reopened shops in Wales.

Retailers will be expected to follow social distancing laws which require firms to go as far as they can to keep people two metres apart.

Similar measures have already been in use in supermarkets and other retailers that have been allowed to remain open.
