The number of Covid cases recorded in every area of Chesterfield - with five reporting zero new cases

New figures reveal the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in every area of Chesterfield – with five parts of the town recording zero cases.

Derbyshire County Council’s weekly Covid-19 Surveillance Report covers the seven-day period up to March 12.

Public health officials are urging people to continue following the rules for what will hopefully be the final push out of lockdown.

Dean Wallace, Derbyshire’s director of public health, said: “Following Government rules and guidelines is making a real difference and it’s so important we all carry on doing all we can.

“That means abiding by the national lockdown and following the basics that we are more than familiar with now – hands, face, space."
