Today's #Covid19Cymru figures should serve as a warning to us all that this really is not under control, and that we all need do our bit to help (yes, including the hospitality sector).
1645 new cases (the third highest).
7-day average: 1220 - UP 28
R (estimate): 1.19 (UP 0.02).
Cases going up is bad enough, but the fact that R is still going up is a sign it's out of control. We can't carry on like this, and I am not sure the measures taken yesterday will be sufficient.

There were 24 #Covid19Cymru deaths recorded.
7-day average: 24.57 - DOWN 0.71
This figure has been hovering along in the mid 20s for a month now. Are we really OK with that many people dying every day in Wales? I'm not.
The figures for #Ceredigion go up again. 32 cases were recorded today.
7-day average: 17.71 - UP 2.14
R (estimate): 1.09
Note that with a smaller population, figures are more prone to noise.

@AngharadHafod yes but WHY is R changing.. R doesn't just change on its own unless there is a sudden change in policy or behavior.
The measures that are being taken is part of a longer pattern of behavior that is likely the **cause** even though common sense might make you think the opposite.
@freemo I agree. I think there is an element of complacency and fatigue from restrictionscreeping in, but also increased time indoors in less well ventilated rooms (it's gone considerably colder this past week).
