Sirhowy, Liswerry and Magor among Gwent Covid hotspots

The Blaenau Gwent ward saw 54 new cases – which is an increase on the previous week (48) and means 133 cases have been recorded in the ward in the 21 days up to December 1.

In Newport Liswerry and Uskmouth recorded the most cases with 51 – up from 24 the previous week.

Rogerstone, which saw the most cases across the health board region last week (55) recorded 47 new cases.

The data shows the number of cases by Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) – areas containing 2,000 to 6,000 households, and is based on a rolling case rate for the last week, 21 days, and since the pandemic began.

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 1, which was 252.7.
