ALMOST 1,500 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded for Wales in the latest figures published by Public Health Wales (PHW).

Statistics released on Monday, March 14, show that 1,482 cases have been confirmed throughout Wales.

These figures cover the 24-hour-period from Thursday to Friday.

A total of 324 of those cases were in North Wales, according to figures. These can be broken down county-by-county to:

Anglesey - 20

Conwy - 45

Denbighshire - 48

Flintshire - 71

Gwynedd - 72

Sadly, a further three deaths have also been confirmed in Wales. This takes the total of suspected Covid-19-related deaths to 7,048 since figures began in early 2020.

The PHW figures also show that 1,922,692 people in Wales have now received the Covid-19 booster jab.
