    Welsh ministers are set to consider whether to extend the use of Covid passes for a wider range of venues.

    The health minister said the government would be "thinking about" the change because they are "hugely" concerned about the high levels of Covid-19.

    The move is being considered after compulsory NHS Covid passes were introduced for people to legally attend big events or nightclubs in Wales.

    Wales' Covid-19 case rate is the highest of all the UK nations.

    Speaking on the BBC Politics Wales programme, Health Minister Eluned Morgan said the high levels of transmission were putting pressure on public services.

    "People are having to take time off to deal with coronavirus because they may get sick, it's putting pressure on the health service because some of our staff are also suffering," she said.

    The Welsh government will review the Covid-19 rules this coming week ahead of an announcement on Friday.

    Ms Morgan said ministers would be looking to "see how we can absolutely make the most out of the measures that we already have in place".

    "Is there any more we can do, for example, around working from home," she said.

    "Is there more we can do to make sure that people do actually wear their face coverings in public places indoors, and we'll be seeing if it may be necessary to roll out the vaccine passports [Covid passes] to other situations."
