Coronavirus latest: Two new cases confirmed in Luton on Monday

Monday's figures show two new coronavirus infections have been confirmed in Luton, according to figures from Public Health England.

The total number of cases in the borough now stands at 1,839 (+2).

Elsewhere in the county, Central Bedfordshire has 1,415 (+1) cases, while Bedford's figure stands at 1,517 (+2).

Due to a technical delay the figures on the Public Health England website were uploaded late last night (Monday).

There have been 371,125 lab-confirmed cases in the UK, rising by 2,621.

The number of Covid-19 associated UK deaths has been recorded as 41,637 - rising by nine.

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.
