More cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in most parts of Nottinghamshire in the past 24 hours, according to the latest Government data.

As of 4pm on August 25, another 13 cases have been reported since the same time yesterday.

The biggest rise is in Nottingham, which has six more infections, bringing its total up to 1,326.

Across the rest of the county, there have now been 3,339 positive tests confirmed since the start of the pandemic, a rise of seven in the past 24 hours.

UK-wide, 16 more people have died within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test, bringing the death toll to 41,449.

The total number of cases has now risen to 327,798 after 1,184 more people tested positive.

This is the current breakdown of confirmed infections for each part of Nottinghamshire:

  • Ashfield - 599 (increase of one)

  • Bassetlaw - 650 (no change)

  • Broxtowe - 460 (increase of three)

As parents think about sending their children back to school, Labour has called for face masks to be used in communal areas in secondary schools in England.

Shadow education secretary Kate Green said: “There is a growing body of evidence that the use of face masks in communal areas in secondary schools helps protect students and staff and drive down transmission.

“The Prime Minister must listen to this evidence and act quickly to give certainty to parents and teachers who are just days away from schools reopening. The last thing concerned parents and pupils need is another last minute U-turn from this Government that throws school plans into chaos.”
