One death relating to coronavirus has been recorded in the latest ONS figures for Devon, with no new deaths in East Devon.

In East Devon there have been 50 deaths attributed to Covid-19 since the outbreak began.

The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics, relate to the week of August 15 and August 21, but were registered up to August 29, and show one death of someone from Devon and one in Cornwall where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate.

The only death recorded in the latest figures occurred at someone's private residence in West Devon, with no deaths recorded in either a hospital or a care home.

It is the second consecutive week where only one death was recorded in Devon, and is the tenth week in a row across Devon and Cornwall combine that the number of deaths has been in single figure, and the seventh week in a row where the number has been either zero, one, or two.

The Isles of Scilly has still yet to see a COVID-19 related death and the South Hams and North Devon 13 weeks, Torridge 12 weeks, Torbay 11 weeks, Exeter and Teignbridge ten weeks, Mid Devon five weeks, Plymouth four weeks, and Cornwall and East Devon one week without a death being recorded.

Previous weeks have seen 2, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 5, 1, 7, 10, 11, 15, 38, 44, 69, 84, 107, 89, 60, 16, and nine deaths registered.

In total, 575 deaths from coronavirus have been registered across Devon and Cornwall, with 306 in hospitals, 224 in care homes, 44 at home, and one in a hospice.

Of the deaths, 210 have been registered in Cornwall, 91 in Plymouth, 58 in Torbay, 50 in East Devon, 39 in Exeter, 33 in Teignbridge, 26 in North Devon, 20 in Torridge, 18 in Mid Devon, 18 in West Devon, 12 in the South Hams, and none in the Isles of Scilly.

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.
