The figures, which cover the time period March 1 to April 17 this year, show that a total of 10 people died in the area after contracting coronavirus, or where it was stated as a contributing factor in their death certificates.

By comparison, Church Warsop and Meden Vale has no reported deaths from the virus, while Somercotes and Pye Bridge sits in the middle with five.

Here is the full list of recorded deaths from the time period by area:

Somercotes and Pye Bridge – five; South Normanton and Pinxton – three; South Normanton West – one; Tibshelf, Newbold and Hardwick – one; Huthwaite – three; Sutton St Mary’s and Ashfields – six; Kirkby Larwood and Kingsway – two; Stanton Hill and Skegby – four; Annesley and Kirkby Woodhouse – one; Ravenshead and Newstead – one; East Kirkby – one; Rainworth and Blidworth – two; Bilsthorpe and Farnsfield – four; Edwinstowe and Clipstone – 10; Ollerton and Broughton – one; Church Warsop and Meden Vale – zero; Market Warsop – one; Langwith, Shirebrook South and Pleasley – four; Shirebrook North – zero; Langwith, Shirebrook South and Pleasley – four; Abbott Road and Pleasley Hill – five; Grange Farm and Ladybrook – seven; Sutton Forest Side and New Cross – two; Sutton Central – two; Kirkby Central – two; East Kirkby – one; Oak Tree and Ransom Wood – one; King’s Walk, Berry Hill and Oakham – six; Eakring and Ling Forest – four; Mansfield Town Centre and Broomhill – two; Mansfield Woodhouse – four; Yeoman Hill – one; Manor and Peafields – one; Forest Town and Newlands – two.

It is not clear how reflective the figures are of the current situation as they only relate to deaths until April 17, with death certificates issued by April 18. Place of death is also not recorded.

According to the latest figures released by NHS England, the number of people who have now died at Sherwood Forest Hospitals – which covers the Mansfield and Ashfield areas – is 98, suggesting the actual figures are significantly higher, with 94 deaths in the area recorded more than two weeks ago.
