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 number of coronavirus cases in every part of Wales. This data was published on Saturday. It provides the figures for areas with an average of 7,000 people - called Middle Super Output Areas. In practice this means there are statistics for areas like Canton in Cardiff, Morriston in Swansea and Porth in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
The data shows there are 54 places in Wales with more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 of population. There are four areas about 1,500 which is down from five last week.
The areas are:
-
Maesteg East, Bridgend - 1,960
- Glyncorrwg & Blaengwynfi, Neath Port Talbot - 1,937
-
Maesteg West, Garth & Llangynwyd, Bridgend - 1,654
-
Caerau, Bridgend- 1,625
This interactive 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 such small 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 from drawing too many conclusions directly from the information.
For example, in Cardiff, Rumney and Pontprennau have exactly the same number of cases at 61. However, per 100,000 of population Rumney is 1,036 whereas Pontprennau is just 698 because Rumney has a lower population.
