The number of people with Covid in Wales has continued to grow in the last week but at a slower rate than the rest of the UK, the latest data suggests.
The most recent figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), published on Friday, June 24, suggest that around 68,500 people would have been positive for Covid in the week ending June 18, 2022 - equivalent to around one in 45 residents. This is up from 64,800 positive cases in last week's reported figures, equivalent to one in 75 residents. The ONS data is based on a randomised survey and is not affected by levels of testing.
Wales now has the lowest level of Covid in the UK with cases in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland increasing more rapidly. In Scotland, one in 20 people have Covid compared to one in 30 in Northern Ireland and one in 40 in England. The area of England with the most cases is London.
