A total of 188 new cases have been recorded across Wales today along with two new deaths recorded, taking the total number of Covid-19 related fatalities in Wales to 5,509.

Health officials giving the daily update issued a warning today for people to maintain social distancing over the Easter weekend.

Dr Robin Howe, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: "Ahead of the Easter weekend we remind the general public that it is very important that everyone remembers that coronavirus has not gone away and that there is still a large number of people who have not been vaccinated.

"It is therefore vital that we all 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.

“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.

“Welsh Government has announced a series of measures over the coming months which will take Wales into Alert Level 3 by 17 May, subject to the public health conditions remaining favourable.

“On 12 April, all children will return to face-to-face education, all post-16 learners will return to further education, and training centres and university campuses will be able to open for blended face-to-face learning for all students.

“On the same day, all remaining shops can reopen, and all close contact services including mobile services can resume.

“In addition, travel restrictions on travelling into and out of Wales will be lifted. However, restrictions on travel to countries outside the Common Travel Area without a reasonable excuse, remain in place.

“Also on 12 April, viewings at wedding venues can resume by appointment, and outdoor canvassing for elections can begin.

“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.”
