Figures from the Office for National Statistics, which are considered a stronger indicator of the overall impact of the virus, and which are based on all deaths where COVID is mentioned on the death certificate, stand at 1,403 for the health board area.

One more person with Covid-19 has died in North Wales - one of three new virus-related deaths confirmed across the country on Friday (May 21).
The new death takes the death toll for the region to 946 since the start of the pandemic, while the national total is now 5,564.

It takes the total number of cases reported in the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board covering North Wales to 35,142 since the pandemic began.
Its rate remains at 2.9 per 100,000 population with the national average also unchanged at 9.5.

There have been 28 further cases of coronavirus across Wales, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 212,388.

It came as a health boss said there was "very high potential" for community transmission of the so-called Indian variant of coronavirus.
Dr Giri Shankar, from Public Health Wales, said it still remains to be seen whether the variant progresses to "established community transmission", but said it was likely.

He said that currently, they have been able to trace cases back to "credible" sources of where the infection had come from.
 there were currently 28 cases of the "variant of concern", with 44 cases of all three Indian variants in total.
Several other cases are currently being investigated, so the number is "definitely expected" to increase, he said.
