You can now find out how many people have died in your postcode from coronavirus

This interactive map shows how many people died in each postcode from coronavirus.

It is based on data from the Office for National Statistics.

The map includes deaths which occurred between March 1 and April 17, and were registered by April 18.

A death is included if 'coronavirus was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor'.

To find out how many deaths occurred in your neighbourhood, you can click on the map below:

The point on the map doesn't show the exact location of death, it signals the centre of the local area which they represent.

Yesterday (Thursday) Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that a total of 26,711 people have died in the UK after contracting coronavirus.

He announced that the figure had increased by 674 in the previous 24 hours.

Mr Johnson said the UK was 'past the peak' of the coronavirus outbreak and that we were moving towards a 'downward slope'.

Earlier this week, the government announced that Covid-19 related deaths in care homes and community settings would be included in the daily figures.

The daily figures, released by the Department for Health, had previously only included deaths in hospitals.

There have been at least 1,300 coronavirus related deaths recorded in Greater Manchester so far.
