Just one coronavirus related death was registered in the Devon County Council area and none in Teignbridge according to the latest week’s figures provided from the Office of National Statistics.

The figures, published today (Tuesday), relate to all deaths that occurred between May 23 and May 29 but were registered up to June 6.

Across the whole of Devon and Cornwall there were only 11 deaths in which COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate were registered in that time period, down from 15 in the previous seven days.

Five deaths were registered in Cornwall, with three in Plymouth, two in Torbay, and one in Mid Devon.

East Devon, Exeter, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Torridge, West Devon and the Isles of Scilly saw no deaths registered.

The Isles of Scilly has still yet to see a COVID-19 related death and Exeter, the South Hams and West Devon have now gone two weeks without a death.

Previous weeks have seen 15, 38, 44, 69, 83, 106, 87, 60, 16, and nine deaths registered.

Six of the deaths occurred in hospitals with five in a care home, and none in any other setting.

The figures show in which local authority the deceased’s usual place of residence was.

For instance, if someone may have died in Derriford Hospital but lived in West Devon, while the death may have been registered in Plymouth, their death would be recorded in the mortality statistics for the ONS figures against West Devon.

Across the whole of Devon, the six deaths registered this week is the lowest figure since the week ending March 20, the first week in which a coronavirus related death was recorded.

Of the five care home deaths, two occurred in Plymouth and Cornwall, with one in Torbay.
