Another 152 people have been reported as testing positive for COVID 19 in Wales during the past day with 5 new cases in Conwy and 9 in Denbighshire.

It comes ahead on an expected announcement  from Welsh Government about the extension of the lockdown for at least another three weeks.

28 new fatalities have been recorded meaning the death toll in Wales stands at 1,090.

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

“Public Health Wales reminds the public to continue to adhere to Welsh Government restrictions on non-essential travel, caravan and campsites, hotels, B&Bs and holiday accommodations, as well as the limited access to our national parks, over the Bank Holiday weekend.

"We also remind owners of second homes in Wales to act responsibly and to avoid traveling to these homes until restrictions have been lifted."
