The Welsh Government has published its weekly communicable disease surveillance report, covering influenza, COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.
The publication provides evidence for monitoring infection trends as the NHS enters the winter period.
Why it matters: Changes in respiratory infections can affect hospital admissions, staffing pressures, vaccination priorities and demand for community healthcare.
Status: Routine surveillance publication. No exceptional increase or outbreak is claimed here because the underlying figures have not been sufficiently verified.
