14 of the 21 new cases of COVID-19 in Wales have been in North Wales according to the latest from Public Health Wales.
Wrexham reported a relatively high number of new cases with 8 along with 3 in Flintshire. Locally there have been 2 new cases in Denbighshire and none in Conwy.
Thankfully once again there has been no new deaths recorded in Wales.
The situation in Wrexham has been showing some concern with mobile testing units being dispatched to the area from tomorrow in a bid to contain any further spread of recently reported cases.
Dr Chris Williams, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said:
“In Wrexham, mobile testing units are being introduced on Wednesday to make it easier for people living in communities on the edge of Wrexham town centre to get a COVID-19 test
“The easy-access testing facilities will initially be based in Hightown and Caia Park. As well as making it easier to get a test, these units will help public health experts gain a better understanding of the situation in Wrexham.
“The work is being coordinated by Public Health Wales, Wrexham Council, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and other partners, with support from the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW) and other community groups. As in other parts of the country, the testing stations will be managed by the army.
“Residents living in these areas are being encouraged to get a test if they think they have symptoms, no matter how mild.
