Seventy-one new cases of Coronavirus have been reported in Wales and four new deaths in the latest from Public Health Wales.
Overall there are 418 cases with 15 of these within Betsi Cadwaladr Hospitals.
The news follows concerns that local hospitals will struggle to cope if restrictions aren't placed on outside visitors coming into the area and placing further pressure on the service.
Local MPs and Assembly Members have put pressure on tourist attractions, caravan parks and public spaces to shut down immediately to minimise unneccessary spread of the virus.
Giri Shankar, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “71 new cases have tested positive for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Wales, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 418, although the true number of cases is likely to be higher."
