NICOLA Sturgeon is to ask her Welsh counterpart on his government's plans to impose quarantine restrictions for people travelling into Wales from areas with high levels of coronavirus elsewhere in Britain.
A UK four nations meeting is to be held this afternoon to assess the pandemic and consider any co-ordinate measures that could be implemented to slow the spread of the virus.
The First Minister was asked for her response to the Welsh Government's proposals during questions at her daily briefing this afternoon on the pandemic.

"I have not seen the comments of the Welsh Government," she said.
"I will speak to Mark Drakeford this afternoon and that may be something he expands upon there."
It comes after the Prime Minister declined to impose travel restrictions on people in English lockdown areas.
People in locked down parts of Wales are unable to leave except for a limited set of reasons.
Wales' health minister said the government is to consider the matter today.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
