New figures have revealed Bristol now has 571 confirmed cases of coronavirus following a rise of 12 positive tests in the past 24 hours.
This is lower than yesterday's increase of 16 but it's likely the city's real figure is far higher, possibly in the thousands, as the government has only been testing the most severe patients.

A Labour minister has questioned how many lives a quicker response to the coronavirus pandemic could have saved.
Shadow minister for mental health, and A&E worker Dr Rosena Allin-Khan said the Government chose to enter lockdown "too late" and that global advice on self-isolation was not followed.
Dr Allin-Khan added PPE was not delivered to the front line when it was needed and said mass testing and contact tracing should have been rolled out.
