There is a new interactive map showing how many people died in each coronavirus ZIP code.
The data is based on data from the Office of National Statistics.
Deaths that occurred between March 1 and April 17, and were recorded before April 18, are included on the map.
A death is included if “the coronavirus was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributing factor.”
The point on the map does not show the exact location of the death, but rather points to the center of the local area they represent.
The coronavirus has claimed 91 lives in our area so far, with one more death announced on Friday.
