Coronavirus cases continue to fall across Wales with less than 100 new cases and no deaths being recorded today.
Across Wales, 94 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded today with one new case in Ceredigion, two in Carmarthenshire, six in Pembrokeshire and three in Powys.
Gwynedd recorded the second highest daily cases in Wales with 10 cases today, just behind Cardiff, which recorded 14 cases.
The rolling seven-day figures, which cover 19-25 March show that over that period, Ceredigion recorded five cases of coronavirus, giving the county a rate of infection of 6.9 cases per 100,000 population – the lowest in Wales.
Over the same period, Carmarthenshire recorded 44 cases with a rate of infection of 23.3; Pembrokeshire, 26 cases with a rate of 20.7; Powys with 24 cases and a rate of 18.1 and Gwynedd recording 54 cases and having a rate of 43.4.
Across Wales, 1,413,710 people have received a first dose of Covid-19 vaccine and 424,016 a second dose.
Dr Giri Shankar, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “Last week Welsh Government announced the lifting of the ‘stay local’ requirement from Saturday, 27 March, and that self-contained holiday accommodation can open for those who live in Wales. People should stay within the borders of Wales unless for essential travel such as work or education.
“In addition, six people from two households are able to meet outdoors, organised outdoors activities for children under 18 can resume, and libraries can reopen.
“This slight easing of Covid lockdown rules is encouraging, however while the number of cases is declining overall, there are still several areas which have significantly higher rates.
“This is a stark reminder of the need for everyone to maintain constant vigilance, by practising hand hygiene, keeping two metres apart from people that you don’t live with, and wearing a mask in indoor environments.
“It is clear that coronavirus has not gone away, and there are still a large number of people who have not been vaccinated. In order to protect everyone, including the most vulnerable, we must all stick to the rules.
“Welsh Government restrictions state that you should not go into any other household or mix indoors with other people who you don’t live with.”
