There are 12 areas of Wales with the highest Covid rates in the nation.
Despite infection rates falling dramatically across the nation, there are still pockets where the virus is spreading rapidly. We've used data published on Friday, February 4.
It provides the numbers for areas with an average of 7,000 people, called middle super output areas (MSOA). In practice this means there are statistics for areas like Canton in Cardiff, Morriston in Swansea, and Porth in Rhondda.
The data shows there are 12 places in Wales with more than 300 cases per 100,000 of the population, two over 400 and one over 500.

This map shows the number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people for each area in the last seven days.
It is important to bear in mind that this data is very volatile because it covers smaller areas. Where an area has a very small population even one positive case can push up the cases per 100,000 significantly. You should therefore be cautious about drawing too many conclusions directly from the information.
