Coronavirus in Wales: Updates from 1 May 2020 - BBC News
Latest updates as the official death toll from Public Health Wales reaches 925.
Inquests in the Gwent area of south east Wales are to resume after a coroner stopped hearings when she was accused of holding them in private during the coronavirus outbreak.

Six inquests were allegedly held in private, including that of Carson Price, 13, of Caerphilly, who died after taking ecstasy.

News agency PA Media had said it contradicted "principles of open justice", in criticism which senior coroner Caroline Saunders labelled "offensive".

Ms Saunders has now announced the court will reopen but the number of people allowed in will be limited to seven in order to comply with national guidelines on social distancing.

In a statement, she said she would reserve four spaces for family and three for the press, but other members of the public would only be allowed in if there were fewer than seven people already in attendance.

"Once in court, all visitors will be required to sit a distance of at least two metres apart in pre-marked seats," the coroner added.

By law, inquests, which are not to find blame but to find out how someone died, are required to be held in public.

Due to the coronavirus restrictions many coroners' courts across Wales have not been operating.

However, Ms Saunders had previously said she wanted to continue to hold inquests because of a backlog.
