Oakham East suffered 11 deaths from Coronavirus in the run up until the start of June.

The figure is released in new mapping data from the Office of National Statistics, which also reveals the worst or best hit areas down to postcode level in the months of March, April and May.

The figures are revealed as Lincolnshire Hospitals reports no new deaths for four days, putting its overall total at 140.

The online mapping tool says six deaths happened in April and five in May.

Oakham West, Langham and Whissendine suffered two deaths in April.

Uppingham, Lyddington and Braunstone suffered one death in April and two in May.

Market Overton, Cottesmore and Empingham didn't suffer any deaths at all!.

The figures exclude the deaths of non-residents in the area and are included when COVID-19 was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor.

ONS figures see some delays while information is filtered through to them.

ONS figures have revealed a number of patterns nationally, including that people were dying at more than double the rate in the poorest areas compared to the richest and that deprived areas are disproportionately hit by COVID-19.

Other key figures in the interactive map showed Bourne had 19 deaths, with ten in Bourne West (7 in April, 3 in May) and nine in Bourne East (8 in April, 1 in May).

Stamford Central, West and South had one death and March and two in each of the following months.
