Dr Robin Howe, incident director for the Covid-19 outbreak said: “Public Health Wales congratulates students who are receiving their GCSE results today, and would ask them to celebrate safely, observing social distancing measures, to prevent the spread of Covid-19.”

He added: “Public Health Wales welcomes the announcement of £32m investment from Welsh Government in our laboratory service.

“This will allow the service to undergo a major transformation which will significantly increase its Covid-19 testing capacity, speed up testing turnaround times and allow regional labs to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“The funding will also see the creation of six Hot Labs at hospitals across Wales, and will create up to 160 new jobs in the sector.

“From 22 August, providing conditions remain stable, up to four households will be able to join together to form a single extended household, and a meal following a wedding, civil partnership or funeral will be allowed for up to 30 people indoors providing social distancing can be maintained.

“We welcome the amendments to regulations making it obligatory for hospitality businesses and other settings to collect contact details of customers from next week. This information is essential for Wales’ Test, Trace, Protect strategy for testing the general public and preventing the spread of coronavirus.

“Advice on travelling abroad, including the latest information on quarantine requirements on returning home, can be found on the FCO website.

"Anyone with suspected symptoms of Covid-19 infection - a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss of smell or taste (anosmia) - must self-isolate and seek an urgent test.

"Confirmed cases must isolate for 10 days, with members of their household isolating for 14 days until the risk of passing on further infection has gone. Combined, these simple but effective actions will ensure the virus does not spread."
