Covid in Wales: What do the stats tell us?

What can different statistics tell us about coronavirus in Wales?

Here, we regularly update some of the key areas of เทคนิคการเล่นสล็อตขั้นเทพ ที่นักเดิมพันไม่ควรพลาด data for measuring the pandemic, covering case rates, Covid patients in hospital, the number of deaths and programmes such as vaccination and testing.

We also try to explain some of the different measures being used.

Where in Wales are most cases?

Case rates can tell us how many people with Covid-19 symptoms are presenting themselves for tests that then come back positive.

The low numbers suggest vaccinations are having an impact, with fewer people experiencing symptoms, while infection has become less of an issue within communities too.

More than half of local authority areas have single figure case rates while Wales is averaging 45 new cases a day, the lowest since the end of last August.

All of Wales' 22 council areas have been under 50 cases per 100,000 - one of the key thresholds for easing restrictions - since the start of April.

There is little between them. Small clusters or spikes in cases can lead to case rates fluctuating but the overall picture shows them all very low. Nine areas are among the 20 lowest in the UK.

Newport currently has the highest case rate in Wales, at around 25 cases per 100,000. There are small clusters of cases across the city, including in Malpas and Bettws.

But it is important to see it in context. It has been below the 50 cases per 100,000 threshold for six weeks and is picking up around six positive tests a day, compared to more than 200 at its peak. It is currently the 59th highest in the UK.

Cardiff has not been above the 50 cases per 100,000 threshold since the end of February.

Merthyr Tydfil is at its lowest levels since mid-August (around 10 cases per 100,000) and a long way from its peak a week before Christmas, when it stood at 1,349 cases per 100,000. A "loss of discipline" was blamed by health officials for a spike in March.
