Of the 10 areas of Wales with the highest Covid rate, six of them are in the Welsh capital.
This data was first released on Monday, February 28. 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 10 places in Wales with more than 550 cases per 100,000 of the population and one where the figure exceeds 1,000.

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.
