  1. Rising cases in Gwynedd and Ceredigion

    Latest figures show the number of coronavirus cases in Gwynedd and Ceredigion are rising, potentially putting those areas at risk of a local lockdown.

    Large parts of Wales are now living under restrictions in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19.

    Public Health Wales recorded 21 new cases in Gwynedd on Sunday, which pushed its weekly infection rate to 47 per 100,000 of the population.

    Ceredigion is now at 32 cases per 100,000 of the population.

    Both counties have reported cases linked to students, with face-to-face teaching suspended for a time in Aberystwyth.

  2. Hello and welcome

    Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of the coronavirus pandemic in Wales.

    At 12:15, Health Minister Vaughan Gething will be giving an update on the handling of Covid-19.

    More than 2.3 million people in Wales are living under local lockdown restrictions.

    The rules, which prevent anyone from entering or leaving an area without a reasonable excuse, are in place over most of south Wales and large parts of north Wales.

    But latest figures now show rising rates in Gwynedd and Ceredigion, which may put them at risk of facing new restrictions.
