The weekly rate of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population tested under Pillar 1 tests (those carried out in NHS laboratories) and Pillar 2 (testing by commercial partners of the mass-testing programme) for the upper-tier local authority of Buckinghamshire (only) is shown in the table below.

* Please Note : The figures given below include those identified with confirmed cases of Coronavirus by testing in all settings, i.e. both pillar 1 and pillar 2. The figures give the total number of people with at least one lab-confirmed positive COVID-19 test result since the start of the pandemic.
Not all those with the virus will have been tested so the actual figure may be higher.
* The figures in red in the table below show the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic of people who had had a positive test result for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. The actual cause of death may not be COVID-19 in all cases. People who died from COVID-19 but had not tested positive are not included and people who died from COVID-19 more than 28 days after their first positive test are not included.
** From Tuesday 18th May 2021 onwards the figures (below) published by Public Health England were revised with the removal of cases where a positive rapid lateral flow test was followed by an all negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test taken within 3 days. Therefore for Tuesday 18th May 2021 the figures show significantly lower numbers or zero and do not reflect the actual number of new cases reported on that date.
