As Wales moves towards the Bank Holiday weekend, Public Health Wales has warned that everyone should continue to play their part in ensuring the lockdown rules are followed and that social distancing is excercised at all times.
Dr Robin Howe, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said:
“With the upcoming May Day Bank Holiday, Public Health Wales reminds the public to continue to adhere to Welsh Government’s restrictions on non-essential travel, caravan and campsites, hotels, B&Bs and holiday accommodations, as well as the limited access to our national parks.
"We also remind owners of second homes in Wales to act responsibly and to avoid traveling to these homes until restrictions have been lifted.
“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 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), anyone can spread it. Stay home, protect the NHS, and save lives."
In the past day Wales has recorded 87 new cases of COVID-19. Out of these 7 new cases have come from Conwy County and 4 from Denbighshire.
Overall there are now 10,851 people who have tested positive for the virus in Wales.
