A FURTHER 1,256 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Wales today - the highest in a single day since January 18.
There have also been two newly confirmed coronavirus deaths in Wales, the first in eight days.
The number of new confirmed cases may be in part down to a reporting lag from the weekend, but this will be not be the main factor and the figure is in the main an indication of how the virus has taken hold again.
It comes on the back of increased confirmations last week, which have pushed the rolling weekly case rate in Wales - to June 30, the latest available - to 95.1 per 100,000 people, the highest since mid-February. The rate has also doubled in a week.
