There has been 21 newly reported cases of COVID-19 and one death in Wales during the past day according to the latest from Public Health Wales. Over 80% of new cases are in North Wales.

Wrexham continues to be blighted by new cases with 11 reported. Flintshire reported 4 and there was one case each in both Conwy and Denbighshire.

Doctor Robin Howe updating on recent outbreaks in North Wales said: "Public Health Wales can confirm that there are no new cases of Coronavirus linked with the 2 Sisters outbreak.

"The total therefore remains at 221 cases linked to the outbreak which is linked to the site at Llangefni in Anglesey.  The fact that no new cases have been recorded is a positive sign, and indicates that control measures have been effective.

“The multi-agency team managing the outbreak of Coronavirus associated with Rowan Foods Ltd in Wrexham has recorded 309 cases.  There continues to be no evidence that this outbreak is factory-based, and the results we have identified are what we would expect to see when a focused testing takes place."

He went on to discuss transmission of Coronavirus in hospitals and other health environments.

“Today Public Health Wales is publishing data relating to transmission of COVID-19 in healthcare settings.

“This data shows that the spread of Coronavirus in healthcare settings is under control, and it is safe for people to access health services in Wales.

“As in other parts of the world, hospital transmission has taken place in Wales, and the infectiousness of the virus has presented challenges for the health service.

“There were significant numbers of hospital acquired infections early on in the pandemic, with cases peaking in the week of 5 April.

“However, real progress has been made, and rates have come down considerably since the peak - by more than 90 per cent.

“Overall, approximately 11 per cent of Coronavirus cases in Wales have been hospital acquired."
