ANGLESEY Council is urging residents not to travel this weekend as coronavirus infection rates on the island increase.

The authority says it is "extremely concerned" about coronavirus infection rates in Holyhead and the Holy Island area.

A spokesperson for Anglesey Council said: "Due to a high number of coronavirus outbreaks, we are encouraging local residents not to travel this weekend unless it is essential.

"We are also encouraging Anglesey residents not to visit Holy Island and Holyhead this weekend - again unless their journey is essential.

"By doing so you will help us keep Holy Island and Anglesey safe."
