AN EXTRA 11,000 positive Covid-19 tests are missing from official figures in Wales, meaning cases in the last week could be twice as high as thought. A computer glitch has reportedly meant 11,000 positive Covid tests in Wales from the past week were not counted in original figures. Currently, recorded figures for the country for the week of December 9-15 stand at 11,911. But Public Health Wales (PHW) says the 11,000 extra cases were missed because of planned maintenance of some IT systems, the BBC says. A total of 103,098 people have tested positive in Wales since the Covid crisis began, meaning the 11,000 extra positives - which will be added PHW figures on Thursday - will represent roughly one tenth of the new total.
