Covid cases in under-25s drop in 20 of Wales' 22 council areas, Public Health Wales says.

Only Denbighshire and Pembrokeshire have seen rises in under-25 case rates, but these have been small.

The recent rise in Wales' case rate was largely due to a rise in cases among under-25s, with a particular spike among 12 to 16-year-olds. The overall case rate in Wales has been dropping for the past eight days and now stands at 507.3 cases per 100,000.Average daily cases have dropped to 2,285 positive tests a day, compared to 2,929 a week ago.

This has been partly generated by record numbers of positive lateral flow tests connected with those returning to work, school and going to events, which then lead to follow-up PCR testing.
