Coronavirus in Devon

Data for the week to last Thursday [24 March] reveals the widespread increase in the virus has continued across Devon – albeit at a slower rate than recent weeks. Devon remains well above the national Covid rate, which is now 902 cases per 100,000 people compared to 1,445 in Plymouth, 1,363 in Torbay and 1,339 in the county council area. The rise in cases in most areas has continued since all Covid restrictions ended in England at the end of February, including the legal requirement to self-isolate with the virus. Free mass testing will also stop from Friday [1 April].

Hospitalisations

A record 416 people with Covid were in Devon's hospitals on Thursday [24 March], the county council's chief executive revealed last week – 30 per cent higher than any other point during the pandemic. Official government figures are only correct up to Tuesday 22 March. 40 per cent of those infected were admitted to hospital for other conditions and then tested positive, Dr Phil Norrey said, with six in intensive care.

Deaths

25 more people died in the county within 28 days of testing positive for Covid in the latest complete weekly period (up to Wednesday 23 March). 11 were in the Devon County Council area, eight in Torbay and six in Plymouth. A total of 1,708 people in Devon (including Plymouth and Torbay) have died within 28 days of a positive test since the pandemic began (as of 27 March).

Vaccinations

The number of people aged over 12 who have received their booster (third) Covid vaccination is 72 per cent in the Devon County Council area, 66 per cent in Torbay and 61 per cent in Plymouth. Take-up for at least one dose of a vaccine is 89 per cent in the Devon County Council area, 86 per cent in Torbay and 85 per cent in Plymouth. The proportion of people who have had two jabs is 85 per cent in Devon, 82 per cent in Torbay and 80 per cent in Plymouth. The national rates are 92, 86 and 67 per cent respectively. ————— Got a Dawlish story you want to share with us?
