There are now 38 areas of Wales that have Covid infection rates of more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 people.
The latest Covid data published by Public Health Wales (PHW) shows that the amount of places with more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 has increased from eight areas to 38 in just a fortnight.
This data was first released on Friday, October 1. 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.

At the other end of the spectrum, WalesOnline has reported each week all of the areas of Wales that have fewer than three Covid cases. For over seven weeks now every single part of Wales has had more than two cases of coronavirus reflecting how widespread the virus is at the present time.

It is 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.
