The 7 places in Wales where Covid rates are still growing

All local authorities in Wales have seen an increase in Covid infection rates compared to last week.

WalesOnline has compared Public Health Wales data to see the places in Wales where the virus is spreading the most quickly. We compared the figures released on September 17 with seven days before.

These figures are seven-day rolling totals for new cases adjusted for population (per 100,000 people).

However these figures are still a vital factor in Welsh Government and Public Health Wales decision-making.

It comes as Covid data shows that Neath Port Talbot has the highest infection rate in Wales.

Below are the four areas where Covid have rise by more than 10% in the last week. You can read the latest information on all the areas with the highest coronavirus rates in Wales here.
