Statistical quality

The total number of tests completed may differ to other tables due to different reporting times. The data presented is the cumulative total since the week commencing 18 May 2020.

The number of tests and results reflect a snapshot in time and will be greatly influenced by the sampling strategy at that moment in time. More information is available in the Antibody testing: coronavirus (COVID-19) pages of our website.

If an antibody test is equivocal, it means that the result is inconclusive.

Key worker and resident categories have been combined due to small numbers in some categories where data would have been suppressed to avoid disclosure.

Prior to December 2020 antibody tests were conducted by local health boards in Wales for surveillance of key groups working in health, social care and education. The testing of domiciliary care workers continued until April 2021. Antibody tests taken for diagnostic reasons in hospital settings are also included in the data presented in this release.
We won’t be revising data past 52 weeks.
