There are now 180 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Dorset.

The latest figures from Public Health England show four new cases in the Dorset Council area, bringing the total to 95.

There are two new cases in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area, bringing the total to 85.

It is a big drop from recent daily numbers but health officials say today's figures are likely to be 'artifically low'.

As of 9am today here were 5, 914 new cases reported in the UK and 621 more deaths.

Overall 47,806 people have tested positive and there have been 4,934 deaths to date.

Some people who report symptoms are not being tested - they are not included in these figures and therefore the number of cases is likely to be much higher.
