A further 10 people have died and 425 people have tested positive for coronavirus, Public Health Wales (PHW) said on Tuesday.

It means a total of 1,640 people in Wales have died with Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.

The new cases take the total of people to test positive in Wales to 26,872.

The total number of people tested in Wales is 565,982, with 539,110 testing negative. It said 10,204 tests were carried out on Monday.

Of the new cases, there were 44 in Cardiff, 40 in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wrexham and Flintshire and 33 in Swansea.

There were 14 in Neath Port Talbot, 19 in Bridgend, 21 in Gwynedd, 16 in Denbighshire, 10 in Conwy and Blaenau Gwent.

Other counties reported fewer than 10 cases, and 103 cases were resident outside Wales – which is partly explained by students seeking tests in the towns where they are now studying, Public Health Wales said.

Fifteen of Wales’ 22 counties have seen local lockdown restrictions put in place affecting more than two million people.

PHW’s figures mostly involve hospital deaths and only include cases when the virus was confirmed in a laboratory test.

The figures do not include deaths of residents from Powys in hospitals in England, although these are included in Office for National Statistics data.
