Rolling rate of cases in country

-

■ Risca west, Caerphilly 57.9

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.

For example, in Newport, Shaftesbur­y and Crindau and Victoria and Somerton have similar numbers of cases at eight and six respective­ly. However, in terms of cases per 100,000 of population, Shaftesbur­y and Crindai has 118 but Victoria and Somerton has only 51. This because Victoria and Somerton has a higher population than Shaftesbur­y and Crindai.

Below we list 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 April 18 and April 25).

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 good news is that most places in Wales now have almost no cases.
