VICTORIA and Somerton recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases in Gwent in recent days as the Covid-19 picture continues to improve across the health board region.

In the seven days up to February 10 every county within Gwent other than Torfaen recorded a weekly case rate of below 100 cases per 100,000 people.

In the seven days up to February 3 Torfaen had the highest rolling weekly rate in Gwent with 142.6 – but that figure went down to 111.7 in the week to February 10. But it still means Torfaen has the fifth-highest rate in Wales.

The average case rate for Wales for that week was 91.6 – Blaenau Gwent (94.5) and Newport (99.6) are also above that average, while Caerphilly (87.8) and Monmouthshire (52.9) are below.

And in the week up to February 10 no single middle layer single output area (MSOA area split between 2,000 to 6,000 households) recorded more than 20 new cases in Gwent.

The only single ward area in the whole of the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board region to record 20 cases was Victoria and Somerton, which also recorded a case rate of 168.7.

It means Victoria and Somerton recorded the same figure as the previous week.

The highest case rate of an MSOA in Gwent for the seven days up to February 10 was in Crosskeys North and Abercarn, which recorded 16 new cases at a rate of 220 per 100,000 (up from eight on the previous week).

For those seven days Caerphilly (159) and Newport (154) again recorded the most cases in the region, but cases are generally going down every week since the turn of the year.
