THE number of people who have died with coronavirus in areas of Dorset has been revealed.
The Office for National Statistics has analysed all Covid-related deaths between March and November last year.
According to the stats, more than 48 people died with coronavirus in west Dorset between March and November.
Within west Dorset, the location with the highest number of deaths was Dorchester West and Poundbury, with 23.
Meanwhile, in the same time period 32 people died in Weymouth and Portland.
The areas in Weymouth and Portland with the highest number of deaths were Westham North and Radipole, where nine people died, while a further nine deaths were recorded in the Preston and Lodmoor district.
