The latest infection rate based on PCR tests, for the seven days up to February 3, now stands at 443.2 cases for every 100,000 people – a reduction from the 466 recorded on Monday.
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 highest infection rate in each Welsh local authority for the seven days between January 28 and February 3 was Carmarthenshire with 628.3 cases per 100,000, followed by Newport with 556.6 and Cardiff with 529.8.
Cardiff recorded the most positive cases over the latest 24-hour period with 143, followed by Carmarthenshire with 85, Flintshire with 74, Swansea with 67, Newport with 53, RCT with 51 and Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly and Wrexham all with 50
Meanwhile Powys and Torfaen both had 47 new cases, Conwy had 44, Neath Port Talbot had 42, Gwynedd had 36, and Pembrokeshire had 33.
The areas with the lowest cases were Blaenau Gwent with 32, Monmouthshire with 25, Denbighshire with 23, Merthyr Tydfil with 26 and Ceredigion with 23 and Anglesey with 15.
In the seven days to February 3 a total of 32.5% of PCR tests across Wales gave a positive result, a fall on the 33.1% reported on Monday.
The highest positivity rates were in Cardiff (37.7%), Swansea (36%) and Carmarthenshire (35.2%).
As of February 7 there were 1,102 people in general and acute hospital beds with coronavirus (confirmed, suspected, and recovering), a fall on the 1,127 on February 4.
There were 14 people in ventilated intensive care beds with confirmed Covid-19 on February 7. This was one more than reported on February 4 but still way down on the Omicron wave peak of 39 on January 5.
A total of 2,514,378 people have received one dose of the coronavirus vaccine and 2,373,251 have been given two doses. Meanwhile, 1,851,613 people have been given their booster jabs in Wales. The Welsh Government has confirmed that all eligible adults were offered one by the end of December.
