Full lockdown in Wales as COVID cases spike
In a statement, the agency said the delay was related to the maintenance of the NHS Welsh Laboratory Information Management System (WLIMS) . This took place on Friday and Saturday (11-12 December) so that essential service upgrades could take place . This means that we expect a backlog of results to come through over the coming days, and there will be a period of data reconciliation and validation that will affect our daily reporting figures for several days. Tomorrow s figures and those over the following days will be higher as a result of the backlog coming through.

Essential and planned maintenance on data systems for the NHS in Wales last week led to what Public Health Wales yesterday called significant under-reporting of Lighthouse Laboratory testing . Lighthouse Labs are part of the network of labs that process coronavirus test results. Around 11,000 coronavirus cases not yet included in official figures as a result, are set to be added later. But the issue has not affected the delivery of results to those who have taken tests.
