FIGURES from Public Health Wales show exactly where coronavirus has been circulating within Flintshire and Wrexham communities – and its clear how the firebreak has made a difference.

The new mapping feature was first added to the daily update provided by public health officials in response to COVID-19 last month – October.

It presents data broken down beyond the standard local authority level allowing people to see exactly how individual communities compare.

The data is gathered using Office of National Statistics figures of middle layer super output areas (MSOAs) and present the rolling number of cases in either a seven-day or 21-day window.

Darker areas indicate higher concentrations of the virus whilst lighter areas show lower transmission rates. The map details state that case numbers are suppressed for any MSOA where there were fewer than three identified cases.

Wales entered a national fire-break period on October 23 and it lasted, as promised by First Minister Mark Drakeford, for two weeks – ending on November 9.

Efforts would not be apparent in the data on this day, with officials saying the usual lag in figures would mean that the fire-break would not be truly reflected in figures until later in November.

Below, we took a snapshot look of the latest available seven-day period spanning from November 15 to 21. See how your area fares below…
