There is one part of Wales which has a Covid-19 infection rate in excess of 200 cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days.
New data released by the Welsh Government and Public Health Wales has revealed the number of cases of Covid-19 in every community in Wales.
Public Health Wales publishes the figures and this data was published on Friday, May 14. It provides the numbers for areas with an average of 7,000 people, called middle super output areas (MSOA). In practice this means there are statistics for areas like Canton in Cardiff, Morriston in Swansea, and Porth in Rhondda.
The data shows there are 12 places in Wales with more than 50 cases per 100,000 of population.
The areas with the most cases are:
- Caerau East, Cardiff 261.8
- Liswerry & Uskmouth, Newport 86.4
- Hermitage & Whitegate, Wrexham 80
- Pillgwenlly & Docks, Newport 79.2
- Cimla, Neath Port Talbot 78.3
- Victoria & Somerton, Newport 67.5
- Splott, Cardiff 64.9
- Stow Hill, Newport 61
- Acton & Maes-y-dre, Wrexham 59.3
- Dulais Valley, Neath Port Talbot 57.4
- Rogerstone, Newport 54.2
- Roath, Cardiff 51.7
This map shows the number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people for each area in the last seven days. If you can't use this map there is also a chart you can use to search for your community at the bottom of this article.
It is really important to bear in mind that this data is very volatile because it covers smaller areas. Where an area has a very small population even one positive case can push up the cases per 100,000 significantly. You should therefore be cautious about drawing too many conclusions directly from the information.
The three areas with highest infection rates in each local authority
(The weekly infection rates for the previous seven days per 100,000 of population. The data is based on the rolling seven-day average between May 10 and May 16).
If there are fewer than three MSOA listed in a local authority area it is because not enough places have more than two cases. The great news is that most places in Wales now have almost no cases.
