Coronavirus in numbers

    • The cumulative number of deaths involving Covid-19 in Welsh residents up to 1 January was 5,169.
    • Of the deaths registered in the week ending 1 January, there were provisionally 310 deaths involving Covid-19; this was 32 more than the previous week – numbers are now at a similar level to early May.
    • For the period 29 February 2020 to 1 January 2021, there were a total of 4,109 excess deaths (15%) above the five-year average. The excess death rate for Wales for the period 29 February 2020 to 1 January 2021 overall was lower than in England.
    • The numbers reported by ONS are different from those from Public Health Wales because of different reporting methods and timing. The ONS figures are higher because they include some extra cases.
