As it happened: CJS News’ final production day of the term

Good morning from JOMEC! It’s Friday the 26th of March and our last production day before the Easter break.

It’s a busy day as usual. We’ll be covering the lifting of some coronavirus restrictions in Wales, with the end of the stay local rule and the re-opening of self-catering accommodation.

We’ll also be covering how Wales still might win the Six Nations this weekend. We’re all Scotland fans for the time being…

And we’re also looking at the local stories affecting Cardiff as our reporters look at the re-opening of libraries and graffiti vandalism in Cathays.

You can follow all the updates on our social media channels @BroadcastCJS
