There were 70 positive coronavirus cases recorded in Milton Keynes on Wednesday, according to data from Public Health England.
This takes the total number of positive cases to 3,924 since the pandemic began.
Nationally, 16,170 cases were recorded today and a further 648 deaths.
Gov data sadly says that two of these deaths were recorded in Milton Keynes, but any further information (including age and whether they had underlying health conditions) is not known.
People are being admitted to Milton Keynes University Hospital for COVID-19 daily.
It is important to follow lockdown rules and coronavirus prevention measures to minimise the spread of COVID-19.
The rolling infection rate in Milton Keynes is currently 137 per 100,000 people.
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.
