The number of people who have died after contracting coronavirus in Wales has risen by seven, it has been announced.
Public Health Wales (PHW) confirmed on Tuesday that the total number of fatalities since the pandemic began now stands at 1,354.
In terms of overall positive cases of Covid-19, the NHS trust added that the number has risen in Wales by 67 to reach 14,121.
Several local authorities reported no new cases, including Swansea, Blaenau Gwent, Monmouthshire, Newport, Torfaen, Bridgend and Ceredigion, while Conwy reported the highest number with 13.
And PHW stated that 2,492 Covid-19 tests were carried out on Monday - despite capacity currently at more than 9,000.
The latest figures were announced following a press conference by health minister Vaughan Gething who gave his weekly update on the situation in Wales.
He said some people have put off seeking urgent or emergency NHS care because they are afraid of visiting hospitals during the pandemic.
The minister highlighted that daily attendances at A&E departments were a third lower than normal, with the biggest decrease in activity being seen among children under 16 where activity has more than halved.
"According to our figures, emergency department activity in May has been between 25% and 40% lower than it would normally be - and that's varied across Wales," he said.
"Fifteen percent fewer people are being taken to hospital by ambulance, and emergency admissions to hospital have fallen by 40% - but there are signs that is beginning to recover.
"One of the reasons for this is that the majority of us have been staying at home and we haven't seen the same demand for emergency care. But we do know that some people have put off seeking care because they have been worried about going to hospital during the pandemic.
"It is really important people don't put off urgent or emergency treatment – the NHS is here to help everyone who needs it. Cancer, emergency, maternity care and mental health services are all still available."
In mid-March, the Welsh Government made the decision to suspend all planned non-urgent appointments in a bid to focus resources and staff on coronavirus cases.
This included increasing the number of critical care beds in the Welsh NHS, as well as redeploying and training staff.
"If we had not increased critical care capacity then our NHS would not have been able to cope with that first peak of coronavirus," said Mr Gething.
"But of course there is a very real risk that if we try to lift the restrictions too quickly then we will see the virus return with a vengeance. There is also a risk of a further peak in the winter at a time when our NHS is at its busiest."
However, he said there would now be a gradual resuming of some "essential" NHS activity, although he gave no precise dates.
"In resuming services we do not mean returning to doing things as they would have been done in February of this year," he said.
"We simply cannot have packed-out patient waiting rooms because people are being automatically recalled every six months for repeat follow-up appointments," he said.
"As we restart essential activity, we will keep many of the systems we've put in place during the pandemic, including for example the telephone triage system in general practice and online video consultations wherever possible."
Mr Gething added that there would be dedicated facilities and zones with strict infection control in place.
He said that health boards in Wales have been looking at how they could restart planned NHS operations and cancer services, more details of which would be published tomorrow.
"In the review that's been done then, yes, they're looking at how they could restart more planned operative activity for example…how we get to do more in the field of cancer services,” Mr Gething said.
"Some of that is actually about behaviour, both in terms of people wanting to come forward with symptoms, and then the willingness to have people referred in, and then to take up those referrals.
"So lots of this actually is about building confidence in services that already exist."
Mr Gething confirmed a £150,000 fund had been launched to quickly trial new digital methods of working.
He also said that a review is set to be carried out into whether the Wales' 19 field hospitals can be used for routine NHS work.
Currently, the number of people in hospitals being treated for or recovering from coronavirus is equivalent to three district general hospitals.
Meanwhile, on Monday the Welsh Government changed its advice to allow Wales' 130,000 shielded people to meet others outdoors should they wish to.
Mr Gething admitted the sudden change to the shielding guidance in Wales was made quicker than expected.
Asked how this would effect the shielding population, he said: "Any change in guidance for shielding people is likely to be unsettling for them."
He said they got to the position of changing the advice because of the level of risk during this time of year.
However, he said the challenge was that he expected there would be a coordinated approach to changing this advice with Engand. He said he had expected there would be more time to contact stakeholders.
