RHYMNEY, Pontlottyn and Abertysswg in Caerphilly county borough recorded the highest number of Covid-19 cases in Gwent in recent days, according to data published by Public Health Wales.

The Caerphilly ward saw 115 new cases in the seven days up to December 8 – more than double the previous week (50). The alarming jump in cases is shown by a rolling weekly case of 1,295 per 100,000 – one of the highest by local area in Wales.

In Newport Rogerstone and Duffryn and Maesglas recorded the joint highest number of cases with 84 in the week up to December 8. Last week Rogerstone recorded 47 new cases while Duffryn and Maesglas recorded 36.

In Monmouthshire, which continues to see significant increases on previous weeks, Magor and Rogiet saw the highest number of cases again with 76 at a case rate of 968.8. High cases incorporate much of the Severnside corridor – including Caldicot North and South.

In Blaenau Gwent Tredegar and Georgetown recorded the most cases with 66 at a rate of 790.1.

In Torfaen Griffithstown and Sebastopol recorded the most cases with 59, at a rolling weekly rate of 773.3.

The data shows the number of cases by Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) – areas containing 2,000 to 6,000 households.

The rolling weekly case rate per 100,000 population is a yardstick to provide an idea of how quickly the virus is spreading or receding in an area. It can be measured against the Wales average in the week up to December 8, which was 403.8.
