PHW reported that 743 tests were carried out in the last 24 hours.

This more than 8,000 short of what the Welsh Government "would need" for a track, test and trace programme.

Yesterday  Vaughan Gething said: "As a reference point yesterday the Scottish Government set out a track test and trace programme themselves, and they estimated that they will need by the end of May, 15,500 tests.

"If that were the approach we took in Wales we would need under 9,000 tests."
