NEW data from health authorities shows that coronavirus levels remain largely suppressed in North Wales as we reach the May Bank Holiday.

Public Health Wales have shown exactly how our different communities compare with their mapping feature which was first added to the daily update provided by health officials in response to monitoring COVID-19 in October 2020.

It presents data broken down beyond the standard local authority areas that people could previously access and now shows how individual communities compare.

In their most recently updated map, almost all of the towns and villages in North Wales have been reporting a very small number of new cases

Below, we took a snapshot look of the latest available seven-day period from May 17 to 23.

Here’s what we found in Flintshire:

The map highlights that almost every part of the county was in the ‘suppressed’ category, showing that people are taking safety precautions seriously and helping to build that head room needed for Welsh Government to safely return or ‘normal lives’.

The latest data shows that most on the map was able to maintain or acquire their spot in the lowest bracket of coronavirus reports that PHW uses (0-2 cases).

The only area reporting more than the ‘suppressed’ level is in the Shotton and Garden City area.

However, this is lower then the week before so the virus is being brought back down in that area.

Here’s what we found in Wrexham:

The picture looks very similar in Wrexham – with the majority of areas reporting virtually no new cases of the virus this week.

At one time, Wrexham was known to be one of the worst hit areas when it came to coronavirus cases. Since then, with months of following the rules, the situation continues to remain positive for the county with very low levels locally.

For the past few weeks, these maps show that the county has been able to drive down their figures right the way down - with the vast majority now reporting the virus has been suppressed to its lowest recordable level.

In the two areas that are reporting more than 2 cases – Pen-y-cae & Minera as well as Llay South & Gwersyllt East – both are only reporting one additional case compared to last week meaning the increase is minor.

In more positive news, areas including Acton & Maes-y-dre, Caia Park and Town North, University & Rhos-ddu have actually dropped since last week into the ‘suppressed’ category’.

Hermitage & Whitehall saw the biggest drop from seven cases to 0-2.
