The number of coronavirus cases in Powys increased by 113 over the weekend, official figures show.

A total of 23,866 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 in Powys when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on February 14 (Monday), up from 23,753 on Friday.

Public Health Wales said that cases reported on Mondays will be for a 48-hour period so are likely to be much higher than the usual 24-hour figures.

The cumulative rate of infection in Powys, which covers the whole pandemic, stands at 17,940 cases per 100,000 people, far lower than the Wales average of 25,317.

Across the UK, the number of recorded cases increased by 127,514 over the period, to 18,348,029.

Since January 31, the UK Health Security Agency has changed all reporting of coronavirus cases in England and Northern Ireland only to include possible reinfections.

The UKHSA said it is working with the devolved administrations to align definitions across the UK.

People with a positive lateral flow test no longer need to take a follow-up PCR test to confirm the result unless they have coronavirus symptoms.

UK case numbers now include LFT results for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
