As of Thursday July 16, the total number of confirmed cases in Rutland is 92. There have also been 23 COVID-19 related deaths recorded in Rutland up to week ending July 3 2020.

Councillor Oliver Hemsley, Leader of Rutland County Council, said: "Although we are continuing to see a comparatively low number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Rutland, we need to remain cautious and continue to follow the guidance that has helped people to stay safe.

"This is important advice for everyone, including younger people, as we head into the summer holiday period. We must all continue to take care of ourselves and each other."
