Currently in Wales 174 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported with 9 new cases in Conwy and 12 in Denbighshire. So far 10,329 people have tested positive in total. There have been 14 new deaths reported in the past day.
The picture across Wales suggests that the lockdown has meant that new cases are levelling-off although there are some warnings that North Wales may be behind the rest of the country in terms of the peak.
Health professionals have warned that everyone must adhere closely to the rules in place across Wales and to remain at home.
Dr Giri Shankar, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said:
“Public Health Wales is working with the military to deploy a number of mobile testing units. Three of these units were available last week, and a further five will become available this week. Once these units are deployed, their ongoing management is being handed over to the relevant health boards.
“We are currently working with Welsh Government to determine the best approach for when the lockdown is eventually eased.
“In the meantime, social distancing rules remain in effect. Public Health Wales fully supports Welsh Government’s revised stay-at-home regulations. The message has not changed – anyone can get coronavirus, anyone can spread it. Stay home, protect the NHS, and save lives.
“Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is still circulating in every part of Wales, and the single most important action we can all take in fighting the virus is to stay at home. We want to thank each and every person across Wales for doing their bit to help slow the spread of the virus.
