Wales' Covid infection and test
positivity rates have risen further as one more person has died and 416 people
have tested positive for coronavirus. Public Health Wales
said Wales' case rate is now 41.6 per 100,000 people while the positivity rate
is up to 3.1% the highest rates since March.
The latest death happened on 23 June in the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board area in North Wales. The highest case rates for the seven day period leading up to 21 June were in North Wales with Flintshire with 120.4 cases per 100,000 people, Conwy 87.9, Denbighshire 83.6 and Wrexham 66.2.

Of the new positive cases, 60 were in Cardiff with 41 in
Flintshire, 30 in Swansea, 29 in Gwynedd and 27 in Rhondda Cynon Taf. Wales'
national case rate was below 10 a month ago while the positivity rate was below
1% but both have risen since and PHW have warned of concern over a significant
increase in cases across Wales. Incident
director Dr Giri Shankar said on Friday that case rates were now doubling every
seven to 10 days and PHW is closely monitoring whether hospitalisations will
increase.

There's still a chance you could catch
coronavirus after being vaccinated. Your symptoms might be mild, but you could
pass it to someone else and make them seriously ill. Even if you've had the
vaccine, you should still get a test if you have symptoms.
