A total of 10 coronavirus-related deaths were recorded in Axminster between March and November, according to new figures released by the Office of National Statistics.
Three COVID-19 related deaths were recorded in Axminster in April and seven in May, comparing to a total of 78 deaths related to other causes over the nine-month period.
The figures also show 12 COVID-related deaths recorded in Seaton, four in Honiton and zero in the Kilmington, Colyton and Uplyme area.
A total of 14,691 deaths across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly were registered in the nine month period, with 647 of them having COVID-19 mentioned on the death certificate as the main cause of death.
Some of the 14,044 deaths 'due to other causes' included deaths where the underlying cause was not COVID-19, but that COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory cause of death.
It means that 4.4% of all deaths in Devon and Cornwall in that nine month period were because of COVID-19.
