These figures are seven-day rolling totals for new cases adjusted for population (per 100,000 people). It is important to remember that though these figures are a useful guide they are just part of the story. If testing massively increases in one place there is likely to be a rise in confirmed cases. However these figures are still a vital factor in Welsh Government and Public Health Wales decision-making.
The latest seven-day infection rate across Wales based on the cases for every 100,000 people (for the seven days up to November 28) now stands at 470 . See the table at the bottom of this article for all the latest figures across Wales.
