The Department of Health's daily update showed there were 40,077 positive tests across the country in the last 24 hours, up by 9.3 per cent on the previous week (pictured). But the week-on-week rise in cases is because a technical issue at Public Health Wales last Monday, which stopped it from reporting cases and deaths data. The new infections announced today are lower than the 41,081 average number of cases recorded across the UK in the last seven days. Meanwhile, hospital admissions stayed flat, rising just 0.9 per cent week-on-week to 1,090, while deaths plateaued, rising 5.3 per cent to 40. Both measures lag behind case numbers by a few weeks, due to the time it takes for someone to become seriously unwell after catching the virus. But the Covid fatality data reported today will be less than the real figure, because health bosses did not receive any data from NHS England - one of the sources of national death numbers.
