Coronavirus is being suppressed in most areas of Gwent, the latest localised figures show. The figures, released by Public Health Wales, which reveal infection rates on a ward by ward level, show that most areas have the virus under control. Covid-19 is suppressed across every ward in Monmouthshire, Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen, with every area recording fewer than two new cases over the last seven days. The same is true of all but one area of Caerphilly. North Blackwood, Argoed and Markham is the outlier, but only with a slightly increased number of three new cases in the last seven days.

GWENT’S neighbourhoods worst hit by the Covid-19 pandemic have been revealed in the first annual death toll of the virus, by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The Institute of Health Equity says the data generally shows people living in the poorest areas are more likely to die from the virus compared to those in the most affluent. Crowded living conditions and low-paid jobs are among the factors, claim the Institute of Health Equity, which says lives could have been saved if better safety measures were imposed. In the 12 months from March last year (up to this month), 401 people died from coronavirus in Caerphilly, 335 people died in Newport, 237 people died in Torfaen, 196 people died in Blaenau Gwent, and 185 people died in Monmouthshire.
