AN AREA of Blaenau Gwent recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases in Gwent last week, according to data published by Public Health Wales (PHW).

Thirty-seven cases were recorded in Abertillery North and Cwmtillery the seven days from November 7 to November 14, at a rolling case rate of 411.

The figures focus on areas containing between 2,000 and 6,000 households – known as Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs), and are based on rolling case rates for the past week, 21 days, and since the pandemic began.

Due to the delays in releasing the more specific data, then data always lags by a few days.

The rolling weekly case rate per 100,000 population is the yardstick to provide an idea of how quickly the virus is spreading or receding in an area.

The data below shows how many cases were recorded in these MSOAs from November 7 to November 14.
