The latest infection rate based on PCR tests, for the seven days up to February 6, now stands at 400.3 cases for every 100,000 people – a reduction from the 412.9 recorded on Thursday.
The infection rate based on PCR tests is only a guide to the spread of Covid in Wales as it does not include lateral flow test results, which are reported weekly in Wales. People with no symptoms who test positive on an LFT no longer need a confirmatory PCR test.
The highest infection rate in each Welsh local authority for the seven days between January 31 and February 6 was Carmarthenshire with 563.1 cases per 100,000, followed by Cardiff with 478.9 and Newport with 455.8.
Cardiff recorded the most positive cases over the latest 24-hour period with 230, followed by Swansea with 156, Carmarthenshire with 149, RCT with 127, Neath Port Talbot with 99, Newport with 86 and Gwynedd with 84.
Meanwhile Pembrokeshire had 77 new cases, Flintshire had 76, Caerphilly had 75, Powys had 73, Wrexham had 67, Ceredigion and Torfaen both had 66, Conwy had 57 and Bridgend had 56.
The areas with the lowest cases were Vale of Glamorgan with 54, Monmouthshire with 53, Blaenau Gwent and Denbighshire both with 51, Anglsey with 48 and Merthyr Tydfil with 26.
In the seven days to February 6 a total of 31.2% of PCR tests across Wales gave a positive result, a fall on the 31.6% reported on Thursday.
The highest positivity rates were in Cardiff (35.9%), Swansea (34.8%) and Carmarthenshire (34%).
As of February 10 there were 1,080 people in general and acute hospital beds with coronavirus (confirmed, suspected, and recovering), a fall on the 1,101 on February 9.
There were 16 people in ventilated intensive care beds with confirmed Covid-19 on February 10. This was the same amount as reported on February 9 but still way down on the Omicron wave peak of 39 on January 5.
Swansea Bay UHB now has no Covid patients in an invasive ventilated bed.
A total of 2,515,537 people have received one dose of the coronavirus vaccine and 2,374,949 have been given two doses. Meanwhile, 1,859,032 people have been given their booster jabs in Wales. The Welsh Government has confirmed that all eligible adults were offered one by the end of December.

The headlines from the latest ONS infection survey published at 2pm on Wednesday, February 9, suggest that the percentage of people testing positive for Covid in Wales has decreased during the week ending February 5.
It estimates 121,200 people in Wales, equivalent to one in 25, had Covid in the week ending February 5. In England it's one in 19 people. In Scotland one in 25 people had Covid in the same week, the same as Wales, while in Northern Ireland it's around one in 13.
The Welsh Government announced on Thursday night that Covid restrictions will be reduced further as part of its latest three-weekly review.
From Friday, February 18, Covid passes will no longer be required for entry into indoor or outdoor events and venues including nightclubs, cinemas, theatres and concert halls. However, events and venues will be able to continue to use it if they choose to.
And from Monday, February 28, the requirement to wear face coverings will be removed from most indoor public places apart from in retail, public transport and health and care settings.
If public health conditions continue to improve, the legal requirement to wear face coverings in all remaining settings could be lifted by the end of March.
