THE death toll from Covid-19 has been revealed for every neighbourhood in south Essex.

A map put together by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows how some areas have suffered very few Covid-19-related fatalities, while others have had more than triple the amount.

Some of the worst hit areas from the beginning of March to the end of July include Chalkwell in Southend with 24 deaths, and Laindon West with 20.

The ONS map also reveals where lives were lost early on in the pandemic, with coronavirus-related deaths happening in several areas in March - Rochford Outer and Hawkwell East, Eastwood, and Great Wakering.

Areas such as South Benfleet and Langdon Hills were also still registering deaths in July.

The ONS says the statistics relate to deaths in which Covid-19 was mentioned as the underlying cause or contributory factor on the death certificate.

It says the areas are ‘Middle Layer Super Output Areas’- small statistical areas with similarly sized populations - not council wards.

The total number of deaths within the Southend borough stands at 203, with 202 in Basildon, 82 in Castle Point, 149 in Thurrock and 92 in Rochford.
