65 new cases of the virus have been identified across Wales today, according to the latest data released this lunchtime by Public Health Wales.
One new death has also been reported, taking the total number of Covid-19 related fatalities since the pandemic began in Wales to 5,551.
Giving the daily statement, Dr Giri Shankar, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “As of yesterday, Monday, further relaxation of the regulations came into place, meaning that Wales is now in Alert Level 3. Two households can again form an exclusive extended household ‘bubble’ and can spend time indoors together.
“Supervised indoor activities for children can resume, along with indoor organised activities for up to 15 adults (such as exercise classes and swimming lessons), and community centres can reopen.
“People should observe social distancing when meeting with others from outside their household or bubble.
“We would remind the general public that it is still extremely important to follow social distancing and hygiene measures to prevent the transmission of coronavirus. That is, staying two metres from anyone you don’t live with, washing hands regularly and wearing face coverings in indoor settings.
“We urge anyone over 50 who has not yet received an invite for their vaccination to contact their local health board. Details of which can be found at https://gov.wales/get-your-covid-19-vaccination-if-you-think-you-have-been-missed
“We encourage everyone, whatever their background, social demographic and ethnicity, to have the vaccine when they are offered it.
“Coronavirus cases by variant in Wales are reported on the UK Government website. The dominant strain in Wales is the Kent variant, and there is currently no evidence of widespread community transmission of other variants of concern in Wales.
“If you or a member of your household develop a cough, fever or change in sense of taste or smell, you must self-isolate immediately and book a free Coronavirus test, either by calling 119 or by visiting www.gov.wales/getting-tested-coronavirus-covid-19
"Please check your local health board’s website to see if there are additional symptoms that require a test.”
