The number of new coronavirus cases confirmed in the last seven days has risen across Devon and Cornwall, but there are still very few in Dawlish.

Government statistics show that 1,395 new cases have been confirmed across the two counties in the past seven days, in both pillar 1 data from tests carried out by the NHS, and pillar 2 data from commercial partners.

That is compared to 1,113 new cases confirmed the previous week.

Of those new cases, 89 were in Teignbridge, and of the 1,113 from the previous week, 71 were in Teignbridge.

Teignbridge has had a total of 507 cases, and the numbers are trending downwards.

In terms of clusters of three or more Covid-19 cases in very small geographical areas, both Dawlish North and Dawlish South are listed as 0-2 for October 23, covering October 13-19.

Steve Brown, the Deputy Director for Public Health Devon, said: "When we look at those people who are testing positive for COVID we are seeing an increase in the age profile.

"So we're seeing now working age and older adults who are testing positive for Covid-19. Again (that's) similar to what we see across the country.

"While the numbers are low in Devon at the moment, it's really important that we do all we can to maintain that."
