The UK's Covid infection rate has fallen for the first time in two months, new data suggests. It comes after Wales' rate peaked according to data released last week, following a month of worrying rises.
The latest infection survey from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that in the week ending July 20, Wales has seen infections fall to 156,200, or one in 19 people, down from 183,200, or one in 17 during the week ending July 13.
Although the declining rate shows the current wave has peaked, prevalence of the virus still remains high. Infections are not yet on a clear downwards trend in all parts of the UK. You can get more health news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
