There have been 50 positive coronavirus cases recorded in Milton Keynes within the past twenty-four hours, according to data from Public Health England.
This takes the total number of positive cases to 2,220 since the pandemic began.
The BBC reports that Milton Keynes has 109 cases per 100,000 people in the latest week (24-30 October), which is relatively low compared to the average area in England which had 153 cases per 100,000 people.
Nationally, 20,018 people tested positive within the past twenty-four hours taking the nation's overall case number to 1,073,882.
Cases are on the rise, both locally and nationally, which is why the Government has imposed a second month-long national lockdown from this Thursday (5/11).
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.
Wednesday's case data will be released later on today.
