Covid in Wales: What do the stats tell us?

 

 

What can different statistics tell us about coronavirus in Wales?

 

We seem to be bombarded with different measures, but what do they mean and how does Wales compare with other parts of the UK?

 

Here, we try to answer some of สมัครสมาชิกสล็อต the questions and bring in some of the key areas of data - covering case rates, hospital cases, vaccination, testing and deaths.

 

 

Where in Wales are most cases?

Case rates can tell us how many people with Covid-19 symptoms are presenting themselves for tests which then come back positive.

 

Public Health Wales (PHW) said the continued decrease was encouraging but it was "even more important" that people follow the rules to maintain the trend.

 

Merthyr Tydfil had fallen from a peak of 1,349 cases per 100,000 and the UK's highest a week before Christmas. There has been an increase in recent days and once again it is the highest in Wales at 147.5 and 7th highest in the UK. This is its highest point since January but is still a long way from the levels seen in previous months and the growth has shown signs of slowing down.

 

Gellideg and Merthyr Town is the localised hotpot with 40 cases in the past week, nearly half of those in the county. The council has deployed a mobile testing unit to the Swansea Road estate in the meantime.

 

But the south Wales valleys in particular have seen dramatic reductions since December - and all of Wales' other local areas are under 100 cases per 100,000 people.

 

 

How many tests are positive?

The proportion of positive tests, alongside the case rates, is being looked at as an important indicator on the road out of lockdown.

 

The positivity rate in Wales on 16 March stood at 3.7% - its lowest point since 20 September.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the positivity proportion of tests should be no more than 5% for a stable period before areas come out of restrictions.
