Wales has recorded no new coronavirus death and just over 50 positive cases in the most recent update. The latest figures from Public Health Wales, published on Wednesday, May 6, recorded 54 new positive cases to bring the total since the pandemic began is now 211,692.
The national picture: Wales has reported one further Covid-related death in the last 24 hours – taking the total number of people who have died with coronavirus since the start of the pandemic to 5,551. PHW confirmed 65 new cases today, which sees figures for the total number of cases in Wales rise to 211,638 people since the start of the pandemic.
Public Health Wales statement: Dr Giri Shankar, incident director for the coronavirus outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said: “As of yesterday, Monday May 3, further relaxation of the regulations came into place, meaning that Wales is now in Alert Level 3. “Two households can again form an exclusive extended household ‘bubble’ and can spend time indoors together. Supervised indoor activities for children can resume, along with indoor organised activities for up to 15 adults (such as exercise classes and swimming lessons) and community centres can reopen.
LOCKDOWN may be easing across Wales, but Minor Injury Units (MIU) across Powys are urging patients to phone first before arriving. Now that the weather is improving and more of us are exercising, the MIUs are seeing an increasing number of patients who have fallen and twisted or sprained their ankle or knee. Meanwhile, insect bites and gardening-related injuries are once again on the rise. “Help us to help you and phone your Minor Injury Unit before arriving,” says Jo Wolfenden, a senior nurse with Powys Teaching Health Board (PTHB). “We began the ‘phone first’ system at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic because it allows us to book patients in and maintain safe social distancing.
