Nine coronavirus related deaths recorded in Cornwall over the past week
There were a further two in the latest 24 hour period, taking the total to 526 since the pandemic began
Figures show the number of coronavirus cases in Cornwall increased by 673 over the weekend - and two more deaths were recorded.
A total of 41,321 people had been confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19 in Cornwall when the UK coronavirus daily dashboard was updated on September 20th (Monday), up from 40,648 on Friday.
However the latest weekly figures displayed on Public Health England's interactive map show another drop in cases and case rates.
The Duchy recorded 1391 in the week to Wednesday 15th September, giving us a case rate of 241.7 per 100,000 people.
The summer spikes mean Cornwall has now been designated an 'Enhanced Response Area', sparking a raft of new measures to tackle coronavirus.
The ERA status also means extra support from the government, including a greater capacity for testing and contact tracing, help to boost the uptake of the vaccine and more guidelines.
There were also two more coronavirus deaths recorded over the weekend in Cornwall.
The dashboard shows 526 people had died in the area by September 20th (Monday), up from 524 on Friday.
It means there have been nine deaths in the past week, which is an increase on seven the previous week.
They were among 7,268 deaths recorded across the South West.
The figures include anyone who died within 28 days of a positive test result for Covid-19, and whose usual residence was in Cornwall.
Daily death counts are revised each day, with each case backdated to the actual date of death.
Figures reported on a Monday are likely to be lower as a result of a lag in reporting deaths over the weekend.
The figures also show that four in five people in Cornwall have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
The latest figures show 409,001 people had received both jabs by September 19th (Sunday) – 81% of those aged 16 and over, based on the number of people on the National Immunisation Management Service database.
Across England, 82% of people aged 16 and above had received a second dose of the jab.
Unlike at local level, the national rate was calculated using mid-2020 population estimates from the Office for National Statistics.
