Covid has affected all neighbourhoods in the Folkestone & Hythe District without exception.
Between Mar and Nov 2020 there were 145 deaths due to Covid. across the Folkestone & Hythe District. Deaths “due to Covid” include only deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death.
Looking at the data at from a Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs) perspective, there have been more deaths in Folkestone Morehall and Sandgate, and the least in Lydd & Dungeness according to data released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS)
MSOAs are a small area statistical geography covering England and Wales. Each area has a similarly sized population (around 8,000 people on average) that remains stable over time.

Rachel Trott, (36) a healthcare assistant who worked at William Harvey Hospital since October last year, died on New Year’s Eve after testing positive for coronavirus.
She leaves behind her partner and three young children.
Our condolences go to her children, her partner and everyone who loved her.
The one comfort we can all take from the persons dying, wherever that was, is that each of them received the most powerful drug in the world – kindness. It work’s for everyone, it’s hard to get the dose wrong, and it’s free at the point of delivery. Thanks to everyone who has delivered this throughout the pandemic.

I am a bit annoyed that St Mary’s Bay has been included with Dymchurch and Brookland why was this ? Can we not have our own statistics for our area.
@D E
This is because the data is based on Output Areas which are slightly different to the more traditional town/district/parish geography.
