Seven more people have died with coronavirus, according to latest figures from Public Health Wales. New data published on Monday, April 4 and covering a 24-hour period, also shows 1,485 new positive PCR test results to bring the total since the pandemic began to 865,029.
The overall number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test in Wales now stands at 7,179. The latest infection rate based on PCR tests for the seven days up to March 28 is 414.1 cases for every 100,000 people – a fall from the 443.6 cases recorded on Friday.
The infection rate based on PCR tests is only a guide to the spread of Covid in Wales as it does not include lateral flow test results which are reported weekly in Wales. People with no symptoms who test positive on an LFT no longer need a confirmatory PCR test.
