ONE new case of coronavirus has been recorded in Ceredigion, plus four in Powys and two in Carmarthenshire.

There were no new cases reported in Gwynedd today (Saturday), after their tally rose six in the last week.

Overall in Wales, there were 77 new cases, and one new death reported today.

Ceredigion still has the lowest number of cases in Wales, at 83.

Dr Christopher Williams, Incident Director for the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “We are now seeing a steady increase in cases and our investigations show that many of these have been transmitted due to a lack of social distancing.

“This has resulted in the spread of the virus to other groups of people.

“We continue to appeal to everyone to please remember that, even if you feel that you would not be badly affected by COVID-19 if you were to test positive, should you pass it on to older or more vulnerable family members, friends or colleagues it could be extremely serious and even fatal."
