Cowbridge indoor pubs and restaurants allowed to reopen from mid-May

The Welsh Government has proposed that pubs and restaurants will be able to reopen indoor areas to the public from 17 May.

The social distancing guidelines such venues will have to adhere to are currently unclear.

She said speaking out saved her life.
