WELSH pub chain Brains will open its pubs in Gwent in stages over the coming weeks.

Pubs in Wales are currently allowed to re-open outdoors, and from next Monday (August 3) the Welsh Government will allow pubs – as well as cafes and restaurants – to re-open their indoor areas.

Strict social-distancing rules will be in place, however.

Some larger chains, like Brains, have put off re-opening their pubs until the indoor rule is in place.
