The Muslim Council of Wales has said it will continue to urge worshippers to use facemasks even when rules have relaxed.'Keeping others safe'

"Especially in places of worship and mosques, part of the reason is because, perhaps more than many places, a mosque brings together all parts of society."It's really about trying to get to a place where people are bringing a mask with them and keeping others safe". The Baptist Union of Wales welcomed the change and looked forward to returning to "some sort of normality"."I'm sure there will be churches who don't feel so confident about this," she said.
