Wales has recorded a further 27 Covid deaths according to latest figures from Public Health Wales. New data published on Monday, March 28, and covering a 24-hour period, also show 2,206 new positive PCR test results to bring the total to 854,130.
The overall number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test in Wales now stands at 7,122. The latest infection rate based on PCR tests for the seven days up to March 21 is 443.1 cases for every 100,000 people – a rise from the 429.4 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.
