Two new cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Herefordshire.

The total number of COVID-19 cases recorded since the start of the pandemic now stands at 1,060. The government has been keen to stress that the sharp increase in cases across the United Kingdom over recent days is down to an error in reporting. 

In the United Kingdom, a further 14,162 cases of the virus have been confirmed. Sadly a further 70 people that had tested positive for the virus have died.
