Public Health Wales (PHW) is now also providing daily updates of the number of people who have had a vaccine, which currently stands at 91,239.

 

There have now been more than 5,100 deaths in Wales involving Covid-19 since the pandemic began. The latest weekly figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show 310 deaths in the week ending 1 January, which are 32 more than the week before.

 

North Wales appears to be of concern; Wrexham still has the highest case rate in Wales, rising very slightly to 853.2 cases per 100,000 people. It is followed by neighbouring Flintshire, which has dropped from 707.2 cases per 100,000 people on Monday to 682.3.

 

Around half of patients admitted to Welsh intensive care units during the second wave of the pandemic have died, a study has found. The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) found men aged in their 60s were more likely to need intensive care. It also found those from Asian backgrounds and deprived areas were disproportionately affected.
