Updated at 12:00 Wednesday 18th March

Dr Robin Howe, incident director for the novel coronavirus outbreak response at Public Health Wales, said the true number of cases is “likely to be higher” than the confirmed 149.

Dr Howe said: “Novel coronavirus is now circulating in every part of Wales. For this reason, we will not be reporting cases by local authority area from today. From tomorrow, we will update daily at 12 noon the case numbers by health board of residence.

“Wherever you live, members of the public should follow the latest public health advice, which was updated on Monday March 16.”
