I spoke to the Prime Minister this afternoon and welcomed confirmation of a UK-wide COBRA meeting tomorrow.
It’s crucial that the four UK nations work together to stop the spread of coronavirus and keep Wales and the UK safe. We are stronger when we work together.
Statement from 10 Downing Street. Could be a case of see what COBR meeting outcome is, and what that means for Wales if "They all agreed to act with a united approach, as much as possible, in the days and weeks ahead” actually happens. FM has bemoaned lack of contact with No. 10
The outbreak at Wrexham was recently ‘closed’ and the Health Board says learning from that incident is helping the Outbreak Control Team working to tackle issues at Glan Clwyd Hospital, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno Hospitals (LINK) (LINK)
Wrexham +2 on the day on day stats, +229 in Wales overall. Now regular note about 'lag' of data from PHW and figs 'likely to be underestimate' (LINK)
A huge thank you and well done to @PaulEdw95332016 who has completed a 640-mile walk from Scotland, down to Wrexham in just 22 days, taking on three peaks at the same time. 👏
Paul has raised £6,700 which will go towards us helping children and families who need us most. ❤️

Washing your hands regularly is one of the best ways that you can stop the spread of #Coronavirus #KeepWalesSafe
Pupils entitled to free school meals in Wales will continue to receive provisions if they are shielding or have to self-isolate, it has today been confirmed: (LINK)
Were you previously shielding?
As stricter rules are introduced in areas of Wales, we want to reassure you that you do not need to shield again, but you should follow strict social distancing.
@CMOWales will not ask you to shield again unless absolutely necessary.

+3 in Wrexham for the day on day stats out of 291 tests. +195 Wales-wide with RCT +56. Reoccurring note from PHW that due to data lag 'the most recent incidence is likely to be an underestimate'. (LINK)
The demand for coronavirus tests has increased across the UK.
We're working hard to increase capacity and get tests where they're needed most.
Only get a test if you have a new continuous cough, high temperature and/or loss of taste/smell 👇

Diolch.
“We need to ask ourselves, not how many people can I meet, but how few people do I need to meet? Because the fewer contacts you have, the safer you will be.” (LINK)
We recommend wearing washable face coverings.
If you choose to wear a single-use face covering, please dispose of it responsibly.
It’s safe to throw away immediately – you don’t need to put it in an extra bag or store it for a time before throwing away.
Great to visit my friend Kevin Clague on Thursday at Eat with Kev at the Enterprise Centre in Brymbo @wrexham where I had a very tasty breakfast. His cafe is spotless and fully Covid-compliant and consequently very busy and popular.
Are there any hairdressers in the Rhostyllen area that do home visits. I need my hair thinning and tidying. Also I am still shielding, @wrexham
We’re asking people, young and old to maintain social distancing.
It’s a simple message but some people still choose to ignore it.
Lets keep our distance.

Doncaster trip members should have been from the same extended household to follow the rules on close contact. People with symptoms should be self isolating.
It’s a real example of a Covid spreading event that should not happen. Please do your bit & help to #KeepWalesSafe
