Central Bedfordshire has three new cases, with a total of 1,265 and Luton has nine new cases, with a total of 1,536.

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.
Nationally, the number of coronavirus cases now stands at 299,426. The number of deaths has been recorded as 45,752.
