Wales, already at its highest case rate so far, saw a jump to 530.2 cases per 100,000 for the most recent seven days, to 12 December.

Eight council areas in Wales are in the 10 hardest-hit areas in the UK for case rates in latest comparison.
There are 14 out of 22 council areas which have their highest case rates so far - including Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham.

The previous figures made it look like the rates were dropping, when they weren't really.
Wales only.
