Everyone's efforts at excercising social distancing and staying at home in Wales during lockdown, is once again made clear again in more encouraging figures from Public Health Wales.
In today's update, 7 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported from across the country with 1 new cases in Conwy and none in Denbighshire. Sadly there has been one more death in Wales.
Dr Chris Williams, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response, said: “Public Health Wales welcomes the gradual easing of lockdown measures with the opening of self-catering accommodation in Wales from today and hairdressers, pub gardens and outdoor cafes from Monday.
“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."
