The latest figures in Berkshire

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust – 359 (no change)
Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust – 184 (no change)
Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - 20 (no change)
It is important to note that Frimley Health runs sites outside of Berkshire, for example Frimley Hospital in Surrey, so it is hard to get an accurate figure for the exact amount of deaths in Berkshire alone.

The current total across the three Trusts is 563.

Windsor and Maidenhead

Number of cases: 306

Rate of infection: 202.8

Windsor and Maidenhead has the lowest coronavirus infection rate of all authorities in the county, with just over 200 cases for every 100,000 people.

The number of cases is just over 300.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council have been contacted for comment.

However, Adam Afriye, MP for Windsor, said: "It is a mixed picture across the country because circumstances differ, and I am mindful that every death across the Royal Borough and the country is tragedy for family and friends.

"What these figures do show is the incredible hard work and dedication shown by the Royal Borough our healthcare workers, and front line staff in keeping the vulnerable safe and secure by providing essential services.
