WREXHAM again saw the highest jump in new North Wales coronavirus cases, the latest data shows.

Public Health Wales figures show that there have been nine confirmed cases in the past 24 hours in Wrexham, as well six in Flintshire - taking their respective totals to 1,236 and 691.

The 15 Wrexham and Flintshire cases make up nearly 90 per cent of new North Wales cases - 17 in total, and 34 per cent of Wales' new cases as a whole.

North Wales' 17 new cases takes the regions's total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus to 4,458.

Wrexham's total of confirmed cases is 459 cases higher than Denbighshire - the North Wales county with the second highest number of cases.

No new coronavirus related deaths were reported in North Wales, nor across Wales as a whole.

Dr Robin Howe, incident director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “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."
