THE coronavirus situation in Wrexham is continuing to improve.

The Wrexham local authority area as a whole is now tenth in Wales, with 11.8 cases per 100,000 population on a seven-day rolling basis.

This is the the lowest level since September and much lower than earlier this year when Wrexham had the worst rate of infection.

However, the council is urging people to take care to avoid a third wave.

In this week's covid update, Wrexham Council said: "That’s brilliant news and shows how much things have improved. But we all know the risk of a third wave is there, so we all have to be careful.

"Pubs, restaurants and cafes will be able to serve outdoors from this Monday, April 26 as restrictions continue to ease.

"It’s a major step, and if we’re all sensible and cautious, we can once again enjoy being able to eat and drink out with friends and family, while staying safe.

Earlier this week, Welsh Government also confirmed that six people will be able to meet outdoors from this Saturday, April 24 and the number of households will no longer be limited to two."

"We’re on the right road. Let’s stay on it."
