Coronavirus deaths have plummeted to zero in every area of Biddulph as the effect of the vaccine has been shown in the latest statistics.

In Biddulph and the rest of the country, almost every adult over 50 has now been vaccinated - with this group also accounting for the vast majority of Coronavirus deaths.

And this effect can be clearly seen in the latest update from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Their latest figures - published late last week - show that there have been no Coronavirus deaths whatsoever in Biddulph throughout March.

The ONS interactive map is updated every month to show a localised version of every death where Covid-19 was the underlying (main) cause on the death certificate.

The data breaks down the number of deaths in each area of Biddulph, also shows the month that each death occurred in this time.

Any months that are not included from March 2020 to March 2021 means that there were no deaths in that month.

Let's hope that this trend continues when the latest figures for April are released next month.
