A further 16 people have died with coronavirus in Wales, taking the total to 2,539, according to the latest figures.

Public Health Wales data also showed 1,004 more people had tested positive for Covid-19, taking the total to 79,540.

Torfaen has now overtaken Blaenau Gwent for the area with the highest case rate in Wales over the last seven days.

It has seen 426 cases in the last week.

There has now been a total of 1,485,249 tests carried out in Wales since the start of the pandemic.

There were 14,400 tests carried out on Saturday.

The local authority area with the highest number of new cases reported in the past 24 hours was Neath Port Talbot with 142, followed by Swansea with 131.

The areas with the lowest number of new cases were Denbighshire with 10, followed by Conwy and Gwynedd which both registered 11 new cases.

Of the new deaths, three were reported by Aneurin Bevan health board, two by Betsi Cadwaladr, three by Cardiff and Vale, five by Cwm Taf Morgannwg, one by Hywel Dda and two by Swansea Bay health board.

The areas with the highest number of cases per 100,000 population for the past seven days are Torfaen with 453.4, followed by Blaenau Gwent with 433.7 and Newport with 336.2.

The areas with the lowest case rates are Conwy with 19.6, Gwynedd with 28.1 and Denbighshire with 72.1.

Acute patients from Powys are usually treated across the border at hospitals in England, so deaths of Powys residents usually only appear in registrations reported later by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Those ONS figures - which are higher - also count both confirmed and suspected cases of Covid, as well as deaths in all settings, including care homes, hospices and people's own homes. The most recent weekly figures are the highest since May.

PHW reports new deaths daily, but these are usually from previous days.
