Sorry for late posting, problems with PHW stats

Another 50 cases of coronavirus have been recorded across North Wales today (March 25) - but a reporting error means some are from people who tested positive two months ago.

Nationally, another 227 cases were reported - including 33 from tests carried out on January 25

Public Health Wales said 11 of these were in the Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board covering North Wales.

Reporting of these tests was delayed because of a "discrepancy between different data views" but people would have been contacted and told to self-isolate at the time, PHW said.

It brings the total number of cases in the Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board since the start of the pandemic to 34,303.

In comparison, yesterday's update saw 32 new cases reported in North Wales.

Four more people have also died from Covid-19 in Wales according to the latest figures, taking the overall death toll to 5,495.

However technical problems with the Tableau dashboard used by Public Health Wales meant there was no breakdown by health board available on Thursday afternoon.

The infection rate across Wales is now 39.1 cases per 100,000 of population based on the seven days up to March 20, which is down from 40.5 on Wednesday.

Seven-day infection rates across North Wales (as of Thursday's update)

Flintshire: 66.6 (down from 71.7)
Gwynedd: 36.1 (down from 41.7)
Wrexham: 33.8 (unchanged)

Here is the latest full list of coronavirus cases reported across North Wales
Betsi Cadwaladr: 50 new cases - total 34,303

Anglesey : 8 new cases - total 2,197
Conwy: 7 new cases - total 3,800

The world is steadily approaching 3m deaths from Covid and all the signs here point to s steady rise in cases.  I suspect the euphoria over the rapid vaccine rollout has masked the underlying seriousness of the disease, and suggests any hope for a return to normal life here in 2021 is almost certainly a futile one.
