9 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Wales during the past day including 3 in Wrexham and 1 in Anglesey.

There have been no new cases reported in either Conwy or Denbighshire. Sadly there have been 2 new deaths.

Testing is continuing in Wrexham after a worrying spike in cases particularly in recent days.

Dr Robin Howe, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Wrexham Council and Public Health Wales are working together to provide easy-access testing at two testing centres in Wrexham. If you think you have symptoms, even very mild ones or you’re not sure please get tested.

“We all have a vital role in preventing the spread of Coronavirus, to help keep Wales safe. We can do this by always observing social distancing guidelines - that’s staying two metres away from others and washing hands regularly.

Dr. Howe also commented on the new rules which have been introduced across the UK from today.

“Public Health Wales supports the announcement of the four UK Chief Medical Officers today to extend the self-isolation period from seven to 10 days for those in the community who have symptoms or a positive test result. This will help provide additional protection to others in the community."
