Coronavirus in Wales: Updates for 18 June 2020 - BBC News
The latest developments on the pandemic in Wales.
A factory in Wrexham which produces food ranges for supermarkets across the UK has confirmed 38 staff have tested positive for Covid-19.

It makes prepared foods for UK supermarket chains including Aldi, Asda and Sainsbury’s.

The company said there was "no clear evidence" the virus had spread within the factory but was a "reflection" of an increase in the number of cases across the Wrexham area.

It said: “The site has 38 staff absent due to testing positive for Covid-19, this is across our direct and agency workforce which totals 1,500.

"We are very thankful that none of our colleagues are seriously ill or hospitalised from this virus.

“Following notification of a positive Covid case we have worked with Public Health Wales and had already implemented a track-and-trace process to highlight any close contacts.

"These colleagues are required to isolate for a 14-day period of isolation. Any member of staff who has tested positive for Covid-19 is asked to isolate for at least seven days.

“The safety of our colleagues remains our priority and our focus is remaining Covid-19 secure as a site.

“We are aware through discussions with Public Health Wales that the Wrexham area is seeing significantly high numbers of positive cases. It is concerning but not surprising that we are seeing a number of our staff affected by this local trend.

"Similarly, we are experiencing a high number of staff required to isolate. A large proportion of our teams are from the same household/family and interact outside of work as well as being work colleagues."

It follows news that more than 50 staff at the 2 Sisters chicken processing plant in Llangefni, Anglesey, have tested positive for coronavirus.
