THERE have been 848  new coronavirus cases recorded in the Hywel Dda Health Board area in the last three days according to the latest figures today (Tuesday, October 26).

Due to  a  technical issue PHW did not publish data on Monday,  with today’s figures (October 26) for a three day period from 9am October 22 to 9am October 25.

PHW added that not all cases in the 72 hour period have been flagged as ‘new’ and “the true number of cases since the previous report on Sunday, October 24 is likely to be just over 8,000. The cumulative total has not been affected, and data  will be reconciled going forwards.”
