This means that Powys Teaching Health Board currently has 36.2 Coronavirus cases per 100,000 members of the population.
The latest figure also means that the total number of cases in the health board’s area now stands at 21,612.
Of the latest figures, PHW also showed that 136 tests were completed meaning that 35.3 per cent of those who undertook a test yesterday received a positive result.
In Wales, cases overall have also dropped as only 2,176 new cases were reported yesterday - compared to 7,915 on Thursday last week - bringing the total number of cases to 729,662.
There were 120,821 people who tested positive for Covid-19 in the UK on the same day - which brings the total number of cases up to 14,732,594.
Covid-19 cases are identified by taking specimens from people and testing them for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If the test is positive - except for rapid lateral flow tests which have negative confirmatory lab-based PCR tests taken within 72 hours - this is referred to as a case.
If a person has more than one positive test, they are only counted as one case for all nations with the exception of Wales.
Earlier this month, the Welsh Government advice changed so that those who received a positive lateral flow test who were asymptomatic are no longer required to receive a follow-up PCR test.
Talking about the change and its possible impact on the daily results, PHW said on its ’Rapid Covid-19 virology’ website: "Lateral flow testing has mainly been deployed for asymptomatic individuals. Symptomatic individuals should book a PCR test (as per previous policy). PCR follow up testing after a positive lateral flow testing has added to both the incidence and positivity estimates for Covid-19.
"Removing the follow up test is likely to reduce overall reported cases by around 10%, based on analyses linking lateral flow tests to PCR positive episodes.
"Although the reported incidence based on PCR testing is likely to fall slightly, these changes will improve stability of our surveillance and maintain a clear case definition based on PCR testing of symptomatic individuals. We know that not all cases are tested and detected and it is more important to have a stable and valid system to identify trends and associations from the data, than to exhaustively identify all cases. However changes in testing behaviour may also affect the reported indications.”
