MORE THAN 90 per cent of areas in Torfaen recorded fewer than two new coronavirus cases in recent days, according to Public Health Wales.

And just three areas of Gwent recorded double figures for Covid cases in the same week.

According to Public Health Wales, Bargoed (11 new cases), Lliswerry and Uskmouth (11), and Abertillery North and Cwmtillery (11) recorded double figures for cases in the week up to March 24.

In the same week, 46 out of 76 areas of Gwent recorded fewer than two new cases – with one out of 12 areas in Torfaen recording fewer than two.

Overall, in the week to March 24, Newport, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire recorded more cases than in the week to March 10 though.
