UPDATE: Milton Keynes has four new cases of coronavirus in 48 hours

As of today (August 14), Milton Keynes has recorded four new cases in 48 hours, with a total of 915 people now diagnosed with the deadly virus, according to the latest figures from Public Health England.

Buckinghamshire has recorded eight new cases, with a total of 1,796.

Meanwhile, in neighbouring Bedfordshire, there has been a total of 22 cases in 48 hours.

Owing to technical difficulties, the data from Public Health England was not updated yesterday.

Daily reported COVID deaths are now measured across the UK as deaths that occurred within 28 days of the first laboratory-confirmed positive COVID test.

No data has been revealed by the Government as yet.

Previous data shared by Public Health England relied solely on Pillar 1 (testing from Public Health England and NHS Hospital Trusts), but as of Thursday, July 2, the information includes Pillar 2 (non-clinical and commercial testing).

It has seen a radical overhaul of how coronavirus infection data is presented across the country, with hundreds of new cases emerging in individual authorities.

The new figures are recorded between 5pm the previous day to 5pm.

Nationally, the number of coronavirus cases now stands at 313,367.

The figures come from the Government website which is available for the public to view here
