Coronavirus: Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda tests cause concern
Merthyr Tydfil could be the next area in Wales to see a local lockdown, according to a health data expert.
The former head of health analysis at the Office for National Statistics highlighted the rising proportion of positive coronavirus tests in the area.
In the past seven days, 6% of tests in and around Merthyr were positive.
That is more than the 5.1% in Caerphilly, which has gone into lockdown, and almost double the 3.2% in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant has warned a local lockdown could be enforced in the area "by the weekend" if cases continued to rise.
But data expert Jamie Jenkins said: "If you look at the data across the whole of Wales, Merthyr Tydfil would be the one you would be more concerned about rather than Rhondda Cynon Taff."
Mr Jenkins said fewer people were talking Merthyr than Rhondda Cynon Taff "because the numbers are smaller but the local authority of Merthyr is much smaller."

Chris Bryant the local MP - he lives in London doesnt he ?
Would this be the same Chris Bryant who made £649,500 in gross profit selling two London flats the taxpayer helped pay the mortgage interest on ?
Good socialist lad then. If you live in that area and vote him - I wish you well , as he doesnt give a toss about you - just his bank balance. He wants to keep the 'down trodden' down trodden and then blame the UK Govt.
Slightly off topic - but he is a complete hypocrit as far as his politics is concerned
