NO new coronavirus deaths have been reported in Gwent for the sixth day in a row - and there were also no new cases reported in the area today.

But Wales-wide, there have been 10 new deaths reported by Public Health Wales, and 42 new cases.

The number of coronavirus-related deaths in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area remains at 267, and the number of confirmed cases at 2,572.

The number of deaths is based on the Public Health Wales (PHW) measure, which only counts laboratory-confirmed coronavirus deaths.

The number of coronavirus-related deaths reported by the Office for National Statistics is higher, as these include deaths where Covid-19 is mentioned on death certificates.
