Number of positive cases eligible for follow-up by local contact tracing teams, by Local Health Board
The data represents the weekly number of eligible cases introduced into the contact tracing system by local health board. For the purposes of this analysis, a week is classed as Sunday to Saturday. The majority of cases not eligible for follow-up by local contact tracers occur in closed settings such as hospitals, care homes and prisons. Positive cases and close contacts residing outside Wales are also not eligible for follow-up and are referred to the relevant public health agency for onward tracing. The number of cases eligible may vary slightly from week to week due to cases being flagged as not eligible following further investigation by contact tracing teams.

There are a very small number of cases that we are not able to allocate to a local health board. Therefore the sum of the local health boards will not always equal the all Wales figures presented in this table.
