Five people have now died in the Cheddar and Axbridge area after contracting coronavirus, according to the latest figures.

The figures released today (July 24) from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show deaths at a local level for people who have contracted Covid-19.

As well as the deaths in the Cheddar and Axbridge area itself, the statistics show that 14 people have died in the villages to the north, such as Winscombe, Sandford and Churchill, meaning there have not been any more deaths there since the last set of ONS figures were released a month ago.

Deaths are reported by postcode area, which is why exact places are not revealed for the villages, though the ONS also said that the information with small numbers in rural areas has been kept vague for confidentiality reasons.

The statistics listed are for deaths where Covid-19 was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor, between March 1 and June 30.
