Figures from Public Health England show a breakdown of coronavirus cases in Bedford for seven days up to November 18.

And while Brickhill and Newnham wards have recorded very few cases with seven and six apiece, Cauldwell and Queens Park have gone well into double figures, recording almost 30 each in a seven-day period.

The Government changed the way it records the location of people who have been tested for Covid-19 - counts of cases and deaths at sub-national level have been updated to reflect this.

The address given at the point of testing will now be used to determine a person's area of residence, rather than that on their electronic NHS record, with the change retrospectively applied to tests carried out from September 1.
