Today's figures do not give anybody any hope that this pandemic is leaving the shores of Wales anytime soon... Earlier this afternoon it was announced there will be a staggered return for schools after the Christmas break, the Welsh Local Government Association has said. Online learning will continue at the beginning of term in January and schools will provide face-to-face learning for the majority of their pupils by 11 January. A full return to the classroom is expected by 18 January at the latest.
Can I just remind everyone that it is essential that the guidelines are followed explicitly in order that everyone can remain safe and well.
A further 52 people have died with coronavirus in Wales, taking the total to 2,921, according to Public Health Wales' (PHW) latest figures. Half of the new deaths - 26 - were reported by Swansea Bay health board which covers the city and Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
The case rate for Wales has jumped to 530.2 cases per 100,000 for the past seven days, up from 377.8 on Wednesday. It follows the publishing of thousands more delayed case results.
