Milton Keynes has seen it's highest ever number of Covid cases today, with 975 positive PCR tests recorded by the government.

The figure only covers PCR tests - from those who have visited an official testing centre in MK. It is though that many more people have tested positive on a lateral flow test and home and not followed up with a PCR.

Thus the true figure could be considerably higher.
