No new Covid-19 cases have been recorded in Ceredigion today.

The latest figures from Public Health Wales show that Ceredigion has only recorded two new cases of coronavirus in the past seven days.

Powys has today recorded four new cases, taking its seven day total to 14.

Gwynedd has recorded one new case, meaning eight in total have been recorded in the past week.

Carmarthenshire has today recorded 15 new cases, taking the weekly total to 80, whilst Pembrokeshire has recorded three, taking the total for the past seven days to nine.

Across Wales, 370 new cases have been identified today (Saturday) with three new deaths being recorded, taking the nation’s total to 1,612 since the beginning of the pandemic in March.

Llanelli will enter lockdown this evening at 6pm with Swansea and Cardiff following suit on Sunday.

Dr Robin Howe, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “The new restrictions announced today for Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli are welcomed by Public Health Wales.

“These restrictions mean that pubs, restaurants and other licensed premises must close at 10pm, and offer table service only.  Off licenses, including supermarkets and other retail outlets, must also stop selling alcohol at 10pm.

“The rules on extended households – or “bubbles” – have changed. Under the new restrictions, people cannot meet indoors with anyone they do not live with.

“As well as observing the current and new restrictions coming into place, I would also urge people to download the new NHS COVID-19 app which launched yesterday (24 September 2020).

“The app forms a central part of the NHS Wales Test Trace Protect programme. We would encourage as many people to download and use the app as possible to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

“We are continuing to see a steady increase in cases in many communities across Wales, and our investigations show that many of these have been transmitted due to a lack of social distancing.”
