Torfaen sees rise in Covid: Stats for every area in Gwent

In the seven days to February 24, Torfaen recorded 78 new Covid cases, up from 61 the previous week.

Pontnewydd and Upper Cwmbran recorded the highest number of cases in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board region in the seven days to February 24, joint-highest with North Blackwood, Argoed and Markham in Caerphilly borough.

But the picture is generally continuing to improve in Gwent. While three of the council areas – Caerphilly (80.1), Torfaen (78.8) and Newport (75.6) – were above the Wales average for rolling case rates in that week, only Torfaen recorded a higher rate than the previous week.

In the seven days to February 24 no middle layer super output area (MSOA split between 2,000 to 6,000 households) recorded more than 14 cases.

Pontnewydd and Upper Cwmbran recorded 14 cases at a rate of 183.2 (up from eight the previous week), while North Blackwood, Argoed and Markham recorded 14 cases at a rate of 246.8 (up from fewer than two the previous week).

Llantarnam and Oakfield, which recorded the highest Covid cases in Gwent in the week to February 17 with 17, saw a huge drop to fewer than two cases.

Overall for those seven days Caerphilly recorded 145 (down from 153), Newport recorded 117 (down from 143), Torfaen recorded 74 (up from 61), Monmouthshire recorded 52 (down from 61), and Blaenau Gwent recorded 30 (down from 42).
