Coronavirus latest: 28 new cases confirmed in Luton over weekend

28 new instances of coronavirus have been confirmed in Luton over Saturday and Sunday, according to latest figures from Public Health England.

The total number of cases in the borough now stands at 1,837 (+28).

Elsewhere in the county, Central Bedfordshire has 1,414 (+15) cases, while Bedford's figure stands at 1,515 (+12).

There have been 368,504 lab-confirmed cases in the UK.

The number of Covid-19 associated UK deaths has been recorded as 41,628.

Nationally, the death toll has been 'recalculated' by officials using a revised definition of coronavirus-related deaths.

Previously, people in England who died at any stage following a positive test, regardless of the cause of their death, were counted in the figures.

However, there is now a cut off point of 28 days from the first laboratory-confirmed positive coronavirus test.
