First Minister Mark Drakeford said the situation in Wales is 'incredibly serious' after the infection rate surged from 181 per 100,000 on November 16 to nearly 300 on December 3.
Scientists say the weight of human-made objects will likely exceed that of living things by the end of the year.
In other words, the combined weight of all the plastic, bricks, concrete and other things we've made in the world will outweigh all animals and plants on the planet for the first time.
The estimated weight of human-made objects is about one teratonne.
For every person in the world, more than their body weight in stuff is now being produced each week.
These astonishing figures have been calculated by a team at the Weizmann Institute of Sciences in Rehovot, Israel, to show how our species is transforming the Earth.
"The significance is symbolic in the sense that it tells us something about the major role that humanity now plays in shaping the world and the state of the Earth around us," Dr Ron Milo, who led the research, told BBC News.
"It is a reason for all of us to ponder our role, how much consumption we do and how can we try to get a better balance between the living world and humanity."

Turgid effort from both sides.
Like watching the old 4th division.
It's a win, and we have won a fair few recently, but you've now got decent footballers just hoofing it forward.
Good game for Madridistas
Atalanta progressed to the Champions League knockout stage for the second successive season with victory at Dutch giants Ajax on Wednesday.
Substitute Luis Muriel scored the decisive goal for the Italians five minutes from time, rounding goalkeeper Andre Onana to slot home.
Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch had been sent off five minutes before Atalanta snatched the lead.
Atalanta go through as Group D runners-up behind Liverpool.
The filing relies on arguments outlined in prior Trump tweets, such as saying no president has ever lost when carrying Florida and Ohio, which Trump won.

Nasa has announced 18 astronauts who will travel to the Moon under the agency's Artemis programme.
They include individuals who have already travelled to the International Space Station, as well as new recruits who have never flown in space.
The group includes the next man and first woman who will walk on the lunar surface in 2024.
The cadre of nine women and nine men were announced by US Vice-President Mike Pence at an event in Florida.
He said: "My fellow Americans, I give you the heroes of the future who will carry us back to the Moon and beyond."
Stephanie Wilson, who has flown into space three times aboard the space shuttle, Christina Koch, who holds the record for the longest continuous time in space for a woman, and Victor Glover, who recently launched to the ISS aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon, are among those who will fly to the Moon in coming years.

Former Italian footballer Paolo Rossi, who led the national team to victory in the 1982 World Cup, has died aged 64, his family says.
His wife Federica Cappelletti posted on Instagram a picture of them together with the words "Per sempre" ("forever" in Italian).
She did not disclose the cause of his death. Italian media are reporting that he had a long illness.
Rossi was the top scorer and the best player of the 1982 tournament in Spain.
His memorable hat-trick eliminated favourites Brazil in a match many fans see as one of the greatest in World Cup history.
Rossi nearly missed the competition after being banned from football for two years for his involvement in a match-fixing scandal.
At club level, the striker was also a prolific goalscorer for Vicenza. He also played for a number of other Serie A outfits, including Juventus and Milan.
In 2004, he was named by Brazilian legend Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers.
After retiring from football in the late 1980s, Rossi worked as a pundit for Sky, Mediaset and Rai.
Sophiya Haque (14 June 1971 – 17 January 2013) was an English actress, singer, video jockey and dancer. She is best known for playing the role of Poppy Morales in Coronation Street between 2008 and 2009.
US federal regulators and more than 45 state prosecutors have sued Facebook, accusing the social media company of taking illegal actions to buy up rivals and stifle competition.
The lawsuits are one of the most significant legal actions the US government has taken against the firm.
Officials are asking the court to consider breaking up the company, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp.
Facebook said the deals under scrutiny were approved by regulators years ago.

The Beagle conflict was a border dispute between Chile and Argentina over the possession of Picton, Lennox and Nueva islands and the scope of the maritime jurisdiction associated with those islands that brought the countries to the brink of war in 1978.
The conflict was resolved through papal mediation and since 1984 Argentina has recognized the islands as Chilean territory. The 1984 treaty also resolves several collateral issues of great importance, including navigation rights, sovereignty over other islands in the Fuegian Archipelago, delimitation of the Straits of Magellan, and maritime boundaries south to Cape Horn and beyond.
Herman Cain (December 13, 1945 – July 30, 2020) was an American businessman and activist for the Tea Party movement within the Republican Party. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Cain grew up in Georgia and graduated from Morehouse College with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. He then earned a master's degree in computer science at Purdue University while also working full-time for the U.S. Department of the Navy. In 1977, he joined the Pillsbury Company where he later became vice president. During the 1980s, Cain's success as a business executive at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him as chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, in which capacity he served from 1986 to 1996.
