CEREDIGION has again recorded no new Covid-19 cases today, according to official data.

This means that Ceredigion has only recorded nine new cases of coronavirus in the last week and is the only county in Wales today not to record any new cases.

Elsewhere, Gwynedd has today recorded nine new cases while Carmarthenshire has recorded eight, Pembrokeshire, two and Powys, four.

In total, 166 new cases have been recorded across Wales today, giving the nation an infection rate of 44 cases per 100,000 population, drastically down from the rate seen nationwide only a few months ago.

After recording no new deaths on Monday, Wales has recorded three today, taking the total number of fatalities since the pandemic began to 5,406.

The Welsh Government has confirmed this lunch time that one million people across Wales have had at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, meaning almost 40 per cent of the adult population now have a level of protection from Covid-19.

Today’s data shows 1,007,391 people have received at least their first dose with 192,030 receiving their second dose, equating to 1,199,421 doses administered altogether within the first 13 weeks of Wales’ vaccination programme.

Following an anticipated dip in supplies over the past few weeks, Wales is shortly going to see a significant increase again.

Expected supplies should see the availability of around 200,000 vaccinations over the course of the next couple of weeks – with around 30,000 a day being administered.

This includes second doses for the many more people due to receive theirs in the coming weeks, and supplies for this have been planned for too.

It was recently announced that Wales aims to have offered vaccinations to every eligible adult by 31 July, as long as supply is maintained.

Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: “To be able to say that one in four adults in Wales have now had at least their first dose of the vaccine is a truly incredible testament to the hard-work of everyone involved in the roll-out of this life-changing vaccine.

“We have seen an incredible level of up-take so far and my thanks go to every person who has done their bit for this national effort.

"It is crucial these high levels of uptake are maintained and I would urge everyone to take up their offer - every single dose really does count.

"Each is a step closer to opening up our society, a step closer to a brighter future and our ‘new normal’.

“We do however need to reiterate that even if you have had your jab, please keep to the social distancing and hygiene measures we’ve become accustom to over the past year - everyone’s efforts to keep this virus at bay are so vitally important.”
