WREXHAM is now the worst region in the whole of Wales for its rate of people testing positive for coronavirus among the population.
The latest figures show that the rate in the county is 904.7 positive cases per 100,000 people in the community in a week that has seen the highest number of new cases since the pandemic began.
Almost all of the 18 sub-areas of Wrexham, designated by Wrexham Council, have seen worsening figures since the last update from the council on January 4.
There are now 11 coronavirus hotspots in the county which are in the worst centile in Wales, with ten having more than 800 cases per 100,000 members of the population. An increase from six just four days ago.
