Hundreds of UK towns and villages have yet to record a single death from coronavirus, new postcode data shows.
A map released by the Office for National Statistics suggests that most fatalities linked to Covid-19 have been in densely populated cities such as London, Birmingham and Manchester, and along the transport routes which link them together.
However, areas which are further away appear to have been spared the worst of the highly infectious virus.
The ONS data suggests that large parts of Wales and the south west and east of England have not seen fatalities.

The map - which only covers England and Wales - analyses 20,283 deaths linked to Covid-19 registered between March 1 and April 17.
In Cornwall alone, there are 24 towns which have not seen a single life lost, including St Breward, Tredethy and Lanivet.
In Suffolk, at least 23 areas have not recorded any fatalities linked to the pandemic, including Hadleigh and Yoxford, with a further 21 in Norfolk, featuring Hoveton, Horning, Cawston and Reepham.
The same is true for nine towns and villages in the county of Conwy in Wales, seven in Pembrokeshire, five in Gwynedd and another five in Ceredigion.
In the New Forest national park in Hampshire there have been no deaths in the Milford and Lymington south area, while in neighbouring Dorset, places such as Bovington, Wool and Lulworth have no recorded deaths.
Despite London being a particular hotspot for the virus - accounting for more than half of all of the nation's deaths - the capital has three areas which have yet to succumb.
Lambeth North, Borough and Southwark Street, and North Acton are all yet to record a single fatality.
It comes after separate figures revealed a shocking North-South divide has opened up during the coronavirus crisis - with people in Northern communities and the Midlands at greater risk of contracting the killer bug.
People in poorer areas are twice as likely to die from the virus as those in affluent parts of the country, experts have said.
New research shows that Middlesbrough and Walsall have the highest rates of infection in the country - with Wolverhampton, Gateshead and St Helens also among the places where the disease has spread widely.
Figures released by the Centre for Progressive Policy this week show that of the 20 places with the highest infection rates, just one - Luton - is in the south.
This is backed by separate data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which shows that Covid-19 death rates are more than double in poorer areas.
Figures showed the number of deaths in deprived areas is 55.1 per 100,000 in England, compared to 25.3 in more affluent areas.
Also in the 10 areas with the highest number of infections per 100,000 people are Sandwell, Knowsley, Blackpool and Sunderland.
