The latest infection rate based on PCR tests, for the seven days up to February 5, now stands at 412.9 cases for every 100,000 people – a reduction from the 427.9 recorded on Wednesday.
The infection rate based on PCR tests is only a guide to the spread of Covid in Wales as it does not include lateral flow test results, which are reported weekly in Wales. People with no symptoms who test positive on an LFT no longer need a confirmatory PCR test.
The latest data on lateral flow tests, published on Thursday for the week to February 6, show there have been a further 18,690 positive test results reported. That's down from 23,066 the previous week. Positivity also decreased from 11.87% to 10.24%. The highest incidence rate was in the Hywel Dda University Health Board area with 680.2 positive tests for every 100,000 people.
The headlines from the latest ONS infection survey published at 2pm on Wednesday, February 9, suggest that the percentage of people testing positive for Covid in Wales has decreased during the week ending February 5.
It estimates 121,200 people in Wales, equivalent to one in 25, had Covid in the week ending February 5. In England it's one in 19 people. In Scotland one in 25 people had Covid in the same week, the same as Wales, while in Northern Ireland it's around one in 13.
The highest infection rate in each Welsh local authority for the seven days between January 30 and February 5 was Carmarthenshire with 597.5 cases per 100,000, followed by Newport with 499.1 and Cardiff with 492.8.
Cardiff recorded the most positive cases over the latest 24-hour period with 232, followed by Swansea with 153, Carmarthenshire with 149, RCT with 102, Pembrokeshire with 83 and Powys with 78.
Meanwhile Ceredigion had 76 new cases, Vale of Glamorgan had 74, Caerphilly had 73, Newport and Gwynedd both had 72, Flintshire had 65, Conwy had 62, Wrexham had 55, Neath Port Talbot had 54 and Monmouthshire had 53.
The areas with the lowest cases were Bridgend with 48, Torfaen with 41, Blaenau Gwent with 40, Denbighshire with 34, Merthyr Tydfil with 33 and Anglesey with 27.
In the seven days to February 5 a total of 31.6% of PCR tests across Wales gave a positive result, a fall on the 32% reported on Wednesday.
The highest positivity rates were in Cardiff (36.5%), Carmarthenshire (35.7%) and Swansea (34.8%).
As of February 9 there were 1,101 people in general and acute hospital beds with coronavirus (confirmed, suspected, and recovering), a fall on the 1,109 on February 8.
There were 16 people in ventilated intensive care beds with confirmed Covid-19 on February 9. This was one more than reported on February 8 but still way down on the Omicron wave peak of 39 on January 5.
Aneurin Bevan UHB and Swansea Bay UHB now have no Covid patients in an invasive ventilated bed.
