Sixteen new coronavirus cases were recorded across the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board region on Tuesday.

The new Gwent cases are among 126 in Wales, which is down from 189 on the previous day. However, the previous day’s data took into account the preceding 48 hours (Sunday and Monday) due to a lag in data, so in effect there has been a slight increase on Tuesday.

Across Wales two new deaths were reported, while eight were reported across the preceding 48 hours.

Of the 16 new cases in Gwent; seven are in Newport, five are in Torfaen, three are in Blaenau Gwent, one is in Caerphilly and none are in Monmouthshire – the only place in Wales to record no cases on Tuesday.
