Seven more people have died with coronavirus, according to latest figures from Public Health Wales, and 1,834 new positive PCR test results have been recorded.
This is the last time WalesOnline will be publishing a daily article in this format with the latest Covid statistics because the end of routine Covid testing means data will not be available in the same way in future. We will continue to report on Covid hospitalisation figures and will put together a weekly article on Fridays bringing together the latest findings from the ONS infection survey and include all other available data.
The figures we're reporting today are based on the Public Health Wales update published on Tuesday, April 5 and cover a 72-hour period. It brings the total number of Covid cases diagnosed in Wales via PCR tests since the pandemic began to 866,863. The overall number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test in Wales now stands at 7,186.
