More people in Wales have coronavirus than ever before and we've been through the data from lateral flow tests to show which areas are hardest hit. The figures, published by Public Health Wales, are only a guide as widespread, routine testing using PCR tests is no longer available in Wales.
The data from lateral flow tests is published once a week by PHW and gives a snapshot of where the virus is spreading most rapidly and in which sections of the population. If you want to know everything the data from the ONS is telling us, you can read a comprehensive guide here.
In the week of March 28 to April 3, we know the number of LFTs reported decreased and also the number of positive testing episodes decreased. As LFTs are now only available for people with symptoms, a drop in the number being taken and reported is expected. However there were still 191,739 test results reported in Wales - giving a substantial insight into the spread of the virus.
