Those aged 60 and above are considered high risk by the NHS, while those aged 70 and over or the clinically vulnerable account for 88% of deaths.
But across England it’s the older age groups that still have the highest infection rates after weeks of lockdown, according to Government figures.
In the seven days to 10 February, the age band with the most cases per 100,000 people was 90 and overs, at 310.9.
Care home residents are being tested monthly which could push the rate up compared to those not being screened regularly.
It was the same in Milton Keynes where those aged 90 and over had an infection rate of 361.4 per 100,000, followed by those aged 20 to 24 with 246.2.
