These figures are seven-day rolling totals for new cases adjusted for population (per 100,000 people). It is important to remember that though these figures are a useful guide they are just part of the story. If testing massively increases in one place there is likely to be a rise in confirmed cases.

The latest seven-day infection rate across Wales, based on the cases for every 100,000 people (for the seven days up to February 13) now stands at 290.9 – a big fall from 400 the week before.

Every other part of Wales has seen a fall with Newport seeing the largest drop of 44% in 7 days
