Where in Wales are the new cases?

The updated figures come after Wales' finance minister Rebecca Evans urged the UK Government to allow the Welsh Government to borrow more money to help deal with coronavirus.

Ms Evans said the UK Treasury should end "arbitrary limits" on financing spending in Wales.

Around £2.4bn is being allocated to help firms and public services cope with the crisis, following extra cash from the UK Treasury.

Currently the Welsh Government is able to borrow £150m a year for infrastructure, up to a limit of £1bn, and £200m a year for day-to-day spending.
