Swansea and Merthyr now under the magic 100 case number per 100,000 people.
Most of South Wales not far behind with Newport the highest at 144. Cardiff, Vale, Bridgend etc hovering around 100 - 130.

Some areas of Midlands, London & Merseyside still very high at 450+. Miles off lockdown in those areas.
Good news. However we're now entering the 'variants' stage - every new variant that pops up [of which there will be plenty] signals a tightening/extending of restrictions. Listened to an interview on Radio 5 live around 8am. Another SAGE scientist preaching doom regarding the South African strain. At every opportunity the journalist effectively played down every single warning he gave [which in itself is highly unusual for the BBC], and he ended up retracting most of what he originally said..
