The Public Health England's daily updates revealed that, as of Tuesday (March 17), there are 38 confirmed coronavirus cases in Berkshire.

This is a huge jump from yesterday's 24 cases.

From the confirmed numbers at 9am this morning, 1,950 people have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK, so far 65 patients have recovered from the virus.

So far the total number of deaths in the UK is 60.

Although one death - the first fatality associated with COVID-19 - occurred at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, the case does not count towards the Berkshire tally as the patient was reportedly based outside of the county.
