THERE were no coronavirus-related deaths from Powys last week.

Figures released today by the Office for National Statistics show that no-one from the county died with the virus in the week leading up to September 19

While Public Health Wales' daily statistics show 461 people across the county have had the virus, the true figure is likely to be higher, while Powys Teaching Health Board has suggested Office for National Statistics (ONS) data to be the most accurate.

The ONS date shows deaths where coronavirus may have been present since the epidemic began.

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics released today show that no one in the county died after contracting a suspected case of Covid-19, meaning the total number of deaths in the county from the virus remains 95.

There has been 48 in care homes deaths, 38 deaths in hospital and nine in a home setting.

The ONS figures are considered the most accurate representation of the spread of the disease in Powys, despite including cases where coronavirus had not been confirmed in a laboratory, which the official data from Public Health Wales does not cover.
