Four more people have died with coronavirus according to latest figures from Public Health Wales. New data published on Tuesday, March 29, and covering a 72-hour period, also show 4,853 new positive PCR test results to bring the total to 858,983.
The overall number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test in Wales now stands at 7,126. The latest infection rate based on PCR tests for the seven days up to March 24 is 451.5 cases for every 100,000 people – a rise from the 443.1 cases recorded on Monday.
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.
