Interactive map reveals the 20 areas of Edinburgh with no coronavirus deaths at all

New data has shown how there are 20 areas in Edinburgh which have recorded no deaths from coronavirus.

The data from the National Records of Scotland shows in detail where people have died from the virus in the city.

Edinburgh Live reported yesterday on the areas of the city with the most deaths.

You can use the interactive map below to explore how the city was impacted.

As well as showing apparent "hotspots", it also shows parts of the city which have not been hit by the virus.

Of course, it's important to note that just because there has been no deaths that does not mean these parts of the city have been outbreak free.

The data shows that there are 20 zones in the city where no one has died, including Dean Village and Stockbridge in the New Town.

Bonaly and the Pentlands have also recorded no deaths since the start of the pandemic in March this year.

Elsewhere, no deaths have been recorded in Abbeyhill, Mountcastle or Craigentinny either.

Director of statistical services Pete Whitehouse said: "Every death from this virus is a tragedy.

"These statistics, alongside the other important evidence being made available by the Scottish government and Health Protection Scotland (HPS), are valuable to the understanding of the progress and impact of the Covid-19 virus across Scotland."

It comes as Nicola Sturgeon announced the easing of lockdown today, with some significant changes to how we live day to day.
