Friday's Coronavirus Update: 58 new cases in Milton Keynes today

    There have been 58 positive coronavirus cases recorded in Milton Keynes within the past twenty-four hours, according to data from Public Health England.

    This is a slight decrease compared to yesterday's high number of 89 and takes the total number of positive cases to 2,788 since the pandemic began.

    Nationally, 27,301 cases have been recorded today and a further 376 deaths.

    People are being admitted to Milton Keynes University Hospital for COVID-19 daily. Six people have sadly died in just over a week.

    And the number of covid patients at the hospital has more than doubled in the past five days. As of Tuesday morning, 19 covid patients were being treated at the hospital. But last night, this number had increased to 47.

    MKFM previously stopped reporting on coronavirus cases due to the lack of testing, and possible misrepresentation of cases within the community, but now that there are more tests available we have decided to provide frequent updates. 

    We provide the data given to us by Public Health England, and unfortunately this does not cover the number of people who have recovered/left hospital.
