Another 57 people have tested positive for coronavirus, according to the latest figures from Public Health Wales.
In its daily update on Tuesday, November 3, Public Health Wales (PHW) confirmed that 1,119 more people in Wales have been diagnosed with Covid-19 following a lab test.
Newport recorded 57 new cases, bringing the seven-day rolling average number of cases in the city, adjusted for population, up to 193.3 per 100,000 people.
The seven-day average is the second lowest in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area behind Blaenau Gwent with 525.3, Caerphilly with 343 and Torfaen with 248. Monmouthshire's seven-day rolling average stands at 156.5.
PHW also reported that four more people have lost their lives with the virus in Wales, bringing the death toll to 1,895.
Merthyr Tydfil remains by some way the local authority with the most cases per 100,000 over a seven-day average at 692.9, an increase on 689.6 on Monday.
Blaenau Gwent had the second highest incidence rate with 525.3 cases per 100,000, up on 496.7 from Monday, while Rhondda Cynon Taf was third with 516.4, up on 506.5 the previous day.
Wales as a whole now averages 260.8 cases per 100,000 people, a rise on 258.5 on Monday.
The numbers look at a rolling seven-day average between October 25 and 31. However, Public Health Wales has said that due to a lag in receiving data, cases sampled in recent days will not be fully reflected in today's data, so the most recent incidence is likely to be underestimated.
These are the key details on Tuesday:
Deaths reported today: 4
Cases reported today: 1,119 (Down from 1,646 on Monday)
Number of tests carried out: 10,212 (Down from 13,843 on Monday)
Total deaths with lab-confirmed coronavirus in Wales: 1,895

Wales is now more than a week into its 17-day fire-break lockdown.
The rules require people to stay at home wherever possible, non-essential retail has been shut, and secondary schools have closed for those in year nine and above.
However, First Minister Mark Drakeford confirmed on Monday that travel restrictions will be lifted after the fire-break ends on November 9 and pubs, cafes and restaurants will reopen.
Meanwhile people from two households will be able to form bubbles again. The new rules will last for two weeks after which they will be reviewed to see if further changes can be made.
He said: "We need to do the minimum – not the maximum, which the rules allow.
"Our real strength lies in the choices we make and the actions we take together.
"When we came out of lockdown in the spring, we took a cautious approach, relaxing restrictions gradually to make sure we did not lose all the gains we had worked so hard for.
"We will once again take that approach – for the first two weeks after the firebreak ends, the national measures will be designed to maximise the impact of the work we have all been doing to control the spread of the virus.
"We will review the situation in a fortnight’s time to see whether we can make further changes."
On Tuesday, NHS Wales chief executive Dr Andrew Goodall said he continued to be concerned by the upward trend in hospital admissions linked to the virus.
He confirmed there are currently 1,275 Covid-related patients in Welsh hospitals - 18% higher than last week and the highest number since late April.
He added that 57 of the most seriously unwell coronavirus patients are being treated in critical care - a 12% rise on last week, which equates to a third of the ICU beds in Wales.
According to latest figures, around 90 people with the virus are being admitted to Welsh hospitals each day.
