The latest figures on Covid-19 case rates suggest problems are easing in earlier hotspot
areas of the south Wales Valleys.
Merthyr Tydfil still has the highest cases per 100,000 people in Wales but it has fallen
to 336.5 from a peak of 679 at the end of October.
Infections amongst students have dropped in Cardiff, helping to reduce the city's case
rate considerably.
Public Health Wales (PHW) is still reporting deaths at a daily average of 22 across
the country.
We can use different measures for looking at deaths over the pandemic in Wales.
The total according to PHW - counting only confirmed cases, mostly in hospitals -
is 2,207.
When measures of registered deaths, used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
are used, the figures are higher.
This includes 2,345 excess deaths - these are the deaths above and beyond what
we would expect to see so far this year, compared to a five-year average.
