l West Oxfordshire – 1
l Vale of White Horse – 11
l Cherwell – 9
The total number of coronavirus cases since the pandemic started are:

Separate data from NHS England revealed that one new coronavirus death had been recorded at the Oxford Trust in the latest 24-hour period.
Daily death counts are revised every day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.
This means that some of the deaths that were first recorded in the latest period may actually have taken place days earlier.
That was an increase of one compared to Friday, when there were 473, which means there have been three deaths in the past week, down from 17 the last week.
Public Health England confirmed that the UK has recorded a further 104 Covid-related deaths and 5,455 new cases.
