Latest confirmed coronavirus cases and hospital deaths in Wales and the North West

More than 43,000 people have now died in the UK after testing positive for coronavirus.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said 43,230 people had died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community as of 5pm on Wednesday, up by 149 from the day before.

The Government figures do not include all deaths involving Covid-19 across the UK.

The DHSC also said in the 24-hour period up to 9am on Thursday, 167,023 tests were carried out or dispatched, with 1,118 positive results.

Overall, a total of 8,710,292 tests have been carried out and 307,980 cases have been confirmed positive.

In Wales, there were six new coronavirus deaths confirmed yesterday, bringing the total to 1,497.

North Wales recorded three out of the six new deaths.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) still has the highest number of deaths of the Welsh health boards, with the toll standing at 350, according to figures released by Public Health Wales (PHW).

Betsi is Wales' largest health board covering a population of 700,000 people - around 22% of the country's total. It also has an older population than Wales as a whole.

Public Health Wales recorded 125 new known cases overall in Wales, meaning 15,466 people have now tested positive for the disease although the actual number is likely to be much higher.

A number of new cases are linked to outbreaks at meat processing plants in Anglesey and Wrexham.

Support the NHS Heroes Help From Home campaign

What is the NHS Heroes campaign?

The NHS is the very best of us. We watch in awe as they work tirelessly to care for us during these unprecedented times. We’ve never relied on them more. We’ve never needed to thank them more and that's what our Help For Heroes initiative is about.

You can show how much you appreciate their efforts by sending them some love, on our Thanks A Million Map https://www.thanksamillionnhs.co.uk/ Simply add your message of support and send a heart to your postcode area. You can zoom around the map to see how many people from communities around Britain are supporting it, and read other messages. If you're a member of NHS staff you'll find a dedicated section of discounts and money-off deals, just for you, too.

But alongside appreciation, the NHS also needs our help - from PPE, to food to keep them going during shifts, medical supplies and more - money can make a big difference. So we have launched NHS Heroes Help From Home - a nationwide drive to raise funds for our NHS frontline, that everyone can get involved in.
