The spike in cases in the Betsi Cadwaldr Health Board can be linked to an outbreak at the 2-Sister meat processing plant in Anglesey.
Today, First Minister Mark Drakeford said the test, track and trace system had worked well in relation to this outbreak.
He said: "We have held a meeting already today to review what is happening on Anglesey," he said.
"The outbreak has been in a closed setting.
"The test, track and trace system has been working very well.
"There will be no delay, but our approach will be proportionate and draw on local evidence."
Across Wales, 2,722 tests were performed for today's figures.
That is just ten housand under the Welsh Government's current testing capacity, which is 12,300 a day.
