13 of the 45 new cases of COVID-19 were in North Wales according to the latest from Public Health Wales today.

Wrexham was again the local authority area reporting the highest number of new cases with 8. There was 2 in Flintshire, 2 in Denbighshire and 1 in Conwy. Anglesey and Gwynedd reported no new cases.

Yesterday there were no new deaths reported.

Dr Chris Williams, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said:  “We continue to caution and remind the public and business-owners that we all have a vital role in preventing the spread of Coronavirus by always sticking to social distancing guidelines - staying two metres away from others, and washing hands regularly. When travelling you should also avoid car sharing with people outside your household.

"Anyone with suspected symptoms of COVID-19 infection - a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss of smell or taste (anosmia) - must self-isolate and seek an urgent test. 

"Confirmed cases must isolate for seven days, with members of their household isolating for 14 days until the risk of passing on further infection has gone. Combined, these simple but effective actions will ensure the virus does not spread."
