For the second day in a row, there have been no new deaths related to people testing postive for COVID-19 in Wales.

In the latest update from Public Health Wales, 11 new cases of the virus have been reported including one new case in Conwy. There have been no new cases in Denbighshire. 

However, North Wales has made up just under half of new cases in Wales during the past day.

Dr Giri Shankar, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said:

“Public Health Wales welcomes the gradual easing of lockdown measures with the opening of hairdressers, pub gardens and outdoor cafes and restaurants from today.

“However, 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."
