Wootton & Stewartby is the only part of Bedford to record a rise in Covid cases

And with Bedford recording 25 cases in a week – that averages at just 3.5 cases a day.

There have been two deaths in Bedford (732), six in Luton (791), and six in Central Bedfordshire (905).

Currently, 25 people are being treated for Covid at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and 30 patients were admitted in the last seven days. One patient is in a ventilation bed.

Unfortunately, there is no further breakdown between the two hospitals – Bedford and Luton & Dunstable.

The figures come from the Government website
