Bedford council urges people to wear a mask as Covid cases rise

There have been four deaths in Central Beds

And with Central Bedfordshire recording 1,031 cases today (July 13) – that averages at 147 cases a day.

Bizarrely, the Government has now chosen to report a week’s worth of cases every Wednesday, despite the general rise in Covid across the country.

Since last Wednesday, there have been four deaths in Central Bedfordshire (814) – there was one in Bedford (648) and two in Luton (718).

Currently, 119 people are being treated for Covid at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Three patients are in ventilation beds.

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

The figures come from the Government website

Central Bedfordshire averages nearly 150 Covid cases a day
