A BREAKDOWN which shows the number of coronavirus-related deaths by each postcode area has been released for the first time since the outbreak began.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has recorded every death in England and Wales where Covid-19 has been mentioned on an individual's death certificate.

The deaths, which occured between March 1 and April 17 - registered up until April 18, have either been caused by Covid-19 or the virus has been a 'contributing factor.'

Due to a time lag in the reporting of figures, caused by the length of time taken between date of death and the date it is officially registered, the true death toll may not be revealed for several months.

But to give you a better understanding of how the virus is affecting your area, The Northern Echo has analysed and published the postcode area of every Covid-19 related death in our region.
