The Omicron wave in Wales has clearly peaked and is rapidly falling, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics.
The infection rate from the Office for National Statistics is based on random sampling of the population and is not affected by changes to testing rules - meaning it is now the most reliable guide to the spread of Covid in the UK.
The latest figures for the week to January 12 show almost one in 25 people had Covid in Wales in the last week- lower than in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The ONS estimated that 169,100 people in Wales, equivalent to one in 20, had Covid in the previous week.
