Coronavirus infection rates, cases and deaths for all parts of Wales on Sunday, June 27

Wales has recorded more than 400 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours - another jump up from the numbers recorded on Friday.

Latest figures from Public Health Wales on Sunday, June 27, have identified 416 more positive cases - up from the 336 reported on Friday, June 25.

The total number of cases since the pandemic began has now reached 216,782. One new death was reported on Sunday, meaning the total now stands at 5,575.

The overall infection rate in Wales now stands at 42.3 cases per 100,000 population based on the seven days between June 15 and Jun 21. This is up from 37.6 on Friday.

The figures are based on the date a test was done, not the date a test was put on the system, meaning it is an accurate reflection of how fast the virus is spreading in Wales.

There continues to be growing concern over Delta strain of coronavirus, with figures released by First Minister Mark Drakeford on Friday showing that the cases had more than doubled in a week from 500 to 1,100. You can read what he had to say here.

All areas have increased infection rates since Friday's figures, apart from Bridgend. The area with the highest infection rate is Flintshire with 120.4 cases per 100,000 people, followed by Conwy with 87.9 and Denbighshire with 83.6.

The percentage of tests coming back positive as an average across Wales over the past week is now 3.1%, slightly up from 2.8% on Friday. Some areas have far higher rates, with Flintshire seeing 7.2% of all tests coming back positive.

There were 24 people in hospital across Wales with confirmed coronavirus on June 24 and just one with either confirmed or suspected Covid in an invasive ventilated bed in Cardiff and Vale UHB.

People in north Wales are being advised to socially distance, take up the offer of a vaccine, self-isolate and get a test if they get coronavirus symptoms.

The increase in this region is thought to be linked to travel across the porous border with the north west of England.

Dr Eleri Davies, an incident director at PHW, said: “The Delta variant is known to be most common variant in all new cases in Wales and is shown to be more easily transmitted from person to person than the previously dominant Alpha variant. This means we all need to take steps to keep ourselves safe and reduce the risk of transmission.

“Our advice is particularly relevant to people travelling to areas where there are known clusters of Coronavirus as community transmission of the variant is evident.

“We are seeing cases increase all over Wales but particularly in North East Wales where travel to and from England for work and leisure purposes is commonplace."
