South Gloucestershire now has 25 cases of COVID-19, up from 19 on Wednesday. There were no news cases reported in North Somerset with the district's figures remaining at 21.
Without a widespread testing regime, only those seriously ill with the severest symptoms of COVID-19 are generally being tested when they are admitted to hospital, so the number of unconfirmed cases is estimated by the authorities to be many times higher.
