A surge in new Covid-19 cases have been evidenced in Wales today with 670 reported by Public Health Wales.
This includes 274 in North Wales - a number which is sure to provide concern to local health board officials and confirm fears that Wales is in the early days of third wave.
However despite evidence showing that the connection between catching Covid and death has been broken, it is inevitable that a sizeable increase in cases may lead to serious illness and an eventual increase in fatalities.
There are also fears about new cases being brought into North West Wales as a result of high visitor numbers in recent weeks.
Wrexham recorded 73 cases, Flintshire 70, Gwynedd 40, Denbighshire 38, Conwy 36 and Anglesey 17.
Flintshire in the last 7 days is now reporting infection rates of 142.9 per 100,000 population versus the North Wales average of 97.8. Conwy currently stands at 90.4.
Health bosses are urging North Wales people who are waiting for their second vaccination to do so as quickly as possible following 8 weeks from their first vaccination. To make an online booking please click here.
