Pubs and restaurants can reopen outdoors in Wales from Monday 26 April, provided coronavirus cases remain low, the Welsh Government has said.
From 12 April Non-essential shops will be allowed to open again, and travel between Wales and the rest of the UK will also be permitted once again.
Pubs, bars and restaurants have been pleading with ministers to give them dates so they can prepare to reopen.
Gyms and leisure centres could also open for individual training “by early May”.
The Welsh Government said First Minister Mark Drakeford will set out a series of new measures on Thursday that will see Wales move fully into Alert Level 3 by 17 May, “subject to public health conditions remaining favourable”.
He will confirm that all remaining non-essential retail and close contact services will be allowed to reopen from 12 April, while the rules will also be changed to allow travel into and out of Wales from the rest of the United Kingdom and Common Travel Area.
Students in Wales will also return to face-to-face education from the same day.
Mr Drakeford is also expected to signal on Thursday further changes which will be confirmed at the 22 April review, which include reopening outdoor attractions and outdoor hospitality from 26 April.
By early May, plans include allowing organised outdoor activities for up to 30 people and for gyms, leisure centres and fitness facilities to reopen for individual or one-to-one training but not exercise classes.
Both the Welsh Conservatives and Plaid Cymru said gyms should be allowed to reopen immediately.
