The data released today however, includes 99 cases from the end of January, according to Public Health Wales.

Dr Eleri Davies, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “The Public Health Wales Covid-19 data on the public-facing dashboard includes 99 new positive results from tests carried out at the end of January.

"The reporting of these tests was delayed because of a discrepancy between different data views, which has been investigated and there are now processes in place to identify such issues.

“Individuals received their results in the normal way, and will have been contacted by their local Test, Trace, Protect (TTP) teams at the time and told to self isolate.

“The results were split across several health board areas, but with larger numbers (48) in the Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board.”
